Android StepForward isn't working on some video files
#1
Hello guys,

I'm experiencing a really weird issue here. I have some encodes of UHD-BD in h265 10 bit with HDR10. Those files can't be skipped forward in Kodi on my AndroidTV and only there. If I skip forward by pressing the right or upper arrow for instance it jumps back to 0:00 but the video freezes and there is also no sound. This happens only on Kodi on my AndroidTV. The files are working perfectly fine in Kodi on Windows or the Windows 10 Movies App for instance. I've encoded almost every content I have myself but this issue does only apply to the h265 HDR encodes. There are files from "other sources" with same specs that don't have this issue. The movie play perfectly fine by the way as long as I don't try to skip it. It also doesn't work to resume the movie a certain point. It can only be played from 00:00 to the end. Also the file can be played and skipped in other players on the same TV like the Emby for AndroidTV app. So this issue is certainly Kodi Android specific.

Here is what I already tried:
- Turn Pass-thorugh on/off
- Audio / output configuration: static, omptimized and best-fit
- Play over SMB or EmbyCon (http)
...

No matter what I change in the settings the issue persists. Turn off HW decoding is no option as the TV is just to slow for SW decoding...

Here is a debug log file:

The StepForward action is performed in line 7014.

Here is the MediaInfo of the movie:

Setup:
Philips 55PUS7272
Android TV 8.0
Kodi 18 RC4

I hope somebody can point me in a direction whats causing this issue.

I digged a little bit deeper into the log

cpp:

23:18:05.687 T:18446744071839963504   ERROR: CMediaCodecVideoBuffer::ReleaseOutputBuffer error -10000 in render(1)

ReleaseOutputBuffer returns the media_status_t = -10000 which is AMEDIA_ERROR_BASE or AMEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN respectively.

Those are always the best errors Sad
