Hi everyone,

anyone here had issues playing 4k movies in Raspberry pi 4 with Raspbian?
I've got one with:
(2160p BluRay x265 HEVC 10bit HDR AAC 7.1 Tigole).mkv

but it starts to playing and it shows black screen and no sound.
Some other ones, it just shows video, but stucking a lot.

Did i miss something here?
I've just followed a kodi installarion tutorial for raspberry pi 4, and things seems to work, except this.
Can someone give me some hints here?

Btw th TV is 4k and supports also HDR, and HDMI cable is connected on the 1st port (next to the power).

I'm not sure the Raspbian repo version of Kodi has HEVC/h.265 hardware acceleration enabled - I think you're best of with LibreElec for that.

(LibreElec is a cut down Linux distro, optimised for Kodi use, and the LibreElec and Raspberry Pi devs have concentrated on getting Kodi working within that environment first AIUI)

Is there any way I can enable that? :-\ I don't want to use LibreElec because I have other stuff running on the same raspberry, like nextcloud and openvpn server.

Kodi available on Raspbian Buster, latest available version 18.4, supports 4K HEVC, but 10 bit HDR is not perfect yet, it depends. It is the same on LibreELEC. I don't have a Raspberry at hand to test this weekend, but I doubt that file won't play, if you configure everything right. Please post a Kodi debug log: https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file

Hi Rascas, thanks for your help.
Think i saw some posts of you in raspberry pi forums
And followed your tutorial to install kodi.

I've uploaded the log here: https://paste.kodi.tv/yahovemipe.kodi

I can see a bunch of errors, but cant's understand why :\

Sorry, you right :\
Already deleted it. Which i could delete the previous link or update it.

The new log: https://paste.kodi.tv/ekawebopen.kodi

got a bunch of these errors :-\ CMMALPool::GetBuffer - failed pool:0xaff49ad0 omvbnil) mmal:0xaff18fb0 timeout:500

There's also this one, earlier in the log:

Code:

2019-10-05 17:26:52.721 T:2575384784   ERROR: CMMALVideo::Open : Video codec unknown: ad

Is it specifically this file that's giving the problem, or is it more widespread?

And saw also this one:

Code:

ERROR: CVideoPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening [/var/run/lirc/lircd]

it's happening with more files, but different behavior.
On another one i tried, i could saw the movie, but stucking a lot, and another one, it had no sound.

[DarrenHill]

Lircd is for IR remote controls.

Most of your errors are from ffmpeg, which may link to the codec one above. But that's not something I'm an expert on, so I'll have to leave it to someone who is.

You only have 160MB of RAM dedicated to the GPU, that is not enough for 4K.
Increase it to 320MB, that is the recommended for the RPI 4. Reboot after change.
