Hey guys, not really sure if this is an actual bug, whatever one would call it. Music video files of .MP4 and audio only .M4A files that are larger than 2 GB don't make it to the music library.
I installed a fresh build of Kodi 20.1 with portable mode and scanned an album of 19 music videos in .MP4. Three of those are larger than 2 GB they didn't make it to the library. The others were added just fine.
I also scanned 1 large 2.97 GB audio only M4A file, that didn't work.
Of course this is not a huge problem for m4a since they about never reach the size of 2 GB. But it is worse with MP4s which I like to have scanned in my musiclibrary.
All files tagged with picard and they have MB tags.
Here is a log when I scan the files:

Screenshot on album in explorer, sorted by size (sorry for the swedish)

from fileview, note the tracks lenght vs the biggest files size:

One of the larger files highlithed:

Library view, note the missing songs:

The big audio only m4a file in fileview:

Mp3 tag showing the largest files tags:

Edit: here is another thread where this is mentioned.
