I have installed KODI over OSMC on a Raspberry3, and for movies, videos and tv it works well. But my FLAC files will not play. I have my files on a Debian server, and I see the files, but they won't play. I've also tried to copy a few files to a memory stick and plug it in. Same shit. Is there something I have to do to be able to play FLAC?
I have searched the forum, but not found anything.

Nothing special should be required hence asking for the log.

Can you try again. Can you first play another format, say an mp3, then play a FLAC file.
Post again, and tell us the name of the songs you played.

How are you playing those files. I see some references to the skin helper widget but can't see you actually starting to play something. Can you at first try to play one through the music library or the file manager, and play a single song, not an entire album?
Do you get any kind of feedback when it is playing (or not playing)? If the audio settings are wrong the song might actually be playing without you hearing anything.
I think all righthtinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

In the background of your screenshot I see Logitech Media Server, what exactly is this? how are your music sources added?

Ah think I've got it now as I see attempts to play from UPnP, so you're using Logitech Media Server as a UPnP server and have most likely added this as a UPnP source in Kodi. In that case you're not directly accessing the files, what is being presented to Kodi is a UPnP playlist and it seems that is not understood by Kodi. Why have you not created a NFS or SMB share on your server then used that to share your music files to Kodi?

I have tried different methods, both samba & nfs: same result. I've also tried to copy files to a usb memory stick, plug it into the pi3, and play the files from it. Same result there. I've also tried to copy files to the msd-card, but with no success. It simply won't play audio files.
