Can not play any radio channel
#1
Due to a broken update of my QNAP NAS server which had removed my working Kodi 17 I'm now with a fresh new Kos Kodi 18.4  from QNAP club.  Whereas my flac, DTS, AC3, SACD files are playing the mp3 streams from any radio channel I've configured via a local m3u list do not play anymore.  The QNAP is connected via HDMI on an AVR with 7.1 channels and Kodi does detect this as well as allow passthrough in the expert audio system menu.  Nevertheless no mp3 radio I see in the log file:

Is there any way to *attach* the kodi.log now with debugging ... https://paste.kodi.tv/ is somehow unhandy for large log files

No, as we have no desire to bloat the forum database with such files (hence the request to use pastebin sites).

Paste.ubuntu.com can usually accept larger log files, so try that.

But the log files normally shouldn't be so large, if you follow the normal procedure (below) of enabling logging, rebooting then reproducing the issue and uploading that straight away.

To receive meaningful assistance you will need to provide a full debug log.

The instructions are here... debug log (wiki)

If you are using the Basic Method, then ensure the following is applied...
1.Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging,
2.Restart Kodi
3.Replicate the problem.
4.Upload the log to Kodi Paste Site manually or use the Kodi Logfile Uploader. (wiki) With either method post the link to the log back here.

If you are using the Advanced Method ensure you have correctly created and applied the advancedsettings.xml file (wiki)

In both instances, you should see the word DEBUG throughout the log.

Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs
Do NOT post your logs directly into the forum. Use the Kodi Paste Site. Post the link to your pasted log in the forum

As a test, make a text file containing just the URL, name it torontocast.strm (without any .txt extension) and point Kodi at that. Does that play?

I just tried it here under Windows (Kodi 18.4) and it played fine. Can you replicate that?

By the way - Kodi should be able to play M3U files directly (open them in the files view mode under the music menu entry, or the videos --> files one). See strm (wiki) for more details.

the .strm method works perfect ...

Maybe the autodetection for the radio channels does fails with PCR:

the entry in my m3u list looks like this:

To be honest that's the method I would use anyway for this kind of thing rather than IPTV simple. And at least there's a workaround if you do need to use it for some reason.

But I'll raise it on the PVR dev channels and see if there's someone with more deep knowledge who can give inputs here.

Hmmm ... AFAICR from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHOUTcast those are used to transport mp3 or aac ... that in theory it should work or do I have to port parts of playercorefactory.xml to advancedsettings.xml ??

That is somehow strange ... what goes wrong with this KODI 18.4?

The message seems to be from the audio engine used by kodi: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master.../AEUtil.cp
