Kodi is skipping DTS WAV tracks
#16
I still have some wavs here with DTS from 10 years ago when we developed and verified if it was working.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

All good, all still works, see the wav I am playing, which we properly detect DTS.

I ripped it to separate WAVs with EAC and tagged with MusicBrainz Picard.

Now, when I navigate to the folder under "Music" in Kodi, after it finishes playing a track, instead of playing the immediate next track, it sometimes skips an entire track to go to the one after the one after the one it finished. This is infuriating.

Can anyone help?

I have seen this issue in my dts music collection. The solution was, I used smb instead of nfs from my nas, and in the advancedsettings, I set lower buffer. No skipping issue anymore.

I guess the most correct way to be just to split the audio as a .dts file, but that would not give you any ability to tag which is why WAV and sometimes FLAC are used, however perhaps that could be done via a CUE file in combination with the .dts. Alternatively there's the MKA container however I'm not sure if we support any kind of music metadata tagging with those currently.
