Sound problems - TrueHD Atmos 7.1 - Kodi / Denon AV / nvidia Shield Pro

$

0
Hello all,

for some time I have unfortunately problems with newer movies and with tracks 'TrueHD Atmos 7.1'. The sound is played very briefly, then the receiver jumps back to DD and remains mute (for like 5 seconds, then the same procedure again).
The additional tracks labeled 'AC3 5.1-EX', however, works.

Shortly to the setup:

nvidia shield (with Kodi 19.3) -> Denon AV -> Boxes
Passtrough is activated

Does anyone know this problem? Do you need more info?

Debug info to SMB server or NAS

Dears,

Are there any Addons or settings could re-route debug info to other location? e.g. SMB server/NAS?
I have KODI 19.1 in FireTV 4K, it is very inconvenient to use [ref]e.g. ES FileExplorer login to FireTV. Would prefer such debug info to directly save to e.g. SMB://NAS/KODI.
(PS: Currently I have problem with some loading delay and crash on library update)

Thanks for any recommendations.

Fire TV Stick 4k (1st gen) - 5.1 from Kodi Videos?

$

Hi


I am pulling my hair out trying to get 5.1 surround sound out of Kodi 19.3 Video on my Fire TV Stick 4k (E9L29Y, 1st gen).  Surround in Netflix & Disney+ is working fine, but not so for files played through Kodi/Videos, e.g. mp4's.

I have the Fire TV Stick "Surround Sound" setting set to Dolby Digital. I have tried tweaking the Expert Audio settings in Kodi, but I have now hit a wall and would be very grateful for any tips.

I am sending optically to a Ayino HD-920 decoder, which supports decoding of Dolby Digital (AC3)/DTS/PCM. 


Many thanks.

PS I have already asked this over in General Support/Android, but no response there, so hoping this is a more appropriate place.  Thanks.

Hi,

I know we can change for Arial Based, but I do not like the police because it is not aesthetic compare to the default font.

There are other solutions ?

I have been building @popcornmix gbm_Matrix branch for RPi4.  The most recent rebase against xbmc/matrix causes audio to break (video plays).  Kodi.log is filled with lines like:

I noticed there are 3 commits relating to the audio subsystem that might be to blame.  I am building reverted versions now just guessing these are related.  Any thoughts?  I can generate and post a complete debug in several hours.

Chromecast (CCGTV) Kodi Install Help

$

I have read tons of threads before posting this so I apologize for asking something I am sure has been answered multiple times but I couldn't find my answers. I thought I would find a device specific thread here but if it exists, I missed it.

I want to install Kodi that can do Dolby Vision but I am not sure which one.  I know there is kodinerds, maven, etc.  I tried the Maven one and it will only play DV for like 15-20 sec then stops and wont play anymore.  I have tried the one on here with aarch32 or whatever in the name and it won't install.  Is there a working DV version somewhere I can install?

Also, what settings are required to get DTS-HDMA and TrueHD to work?  I noticed that some files with these formats cause my Denon X3500H to show "Multi Ch In" on the display which I think is LPCM.  I'm not sure why.  The chromecast used to send DTS-HDMA to the AVR just fine and the AVR would say DTS-HD Hi Res when that was happening.

Thanks for any help.

Video randomly stops playing after a few minutes

$

This has started happening recently. Whether it's a TV show or a movie, kodi will stop playing the video and go back to the season menu or movie menu. The time seems totally random. Sometimes it's after a minute, sometimes after 10 minutes. There seems to be no rhyme or reason.

Below is the log file from when it did this a few minutes ago. Kodi is running on an Nvidia Shield TV. None of the other apps on the Shield behave this way. I saw another post about someone having this problem and it maybe being related to an alarm setting that they found in their log, but my log doesn't seem to have this. The video files live on a QNAP, as does the database, in case that matters (though it's never been an issue in the past).

I think Line 1200 is when the stuff relating to this issue starts, maybe a bit after that.

EndTime from .nfo local file instead from video file

$

Dear Friends

Are there any possibility to use $INFO[ListItem.EndTime,,], which will show EndTime of the video file, but estimated from .nfo file using specified value in <runtime></runtime>?

For example: I have .nfo file in the same folder as my video.mkv. In this .nfo file there is <runtime>120</runtime>. I would like to use this 120 minutes to calculate EndTime. At the moment I think EndTime is calculated directly from video.mkv?

Are there any possibility to use $INFO[System.Time] and add value of 120 to this $INFO[System.Time] as a new time, which I will describe EndTime?
Something like: EndTime = $INFO[System.Time+120]?

Thank you in advance for your help and support.

Sincerely

LG WebOS 6 and Kodi

Hi everyone,
I know this is not the right place to ask for help but I couldn't find any solution.
I just bought a new smart tv with the LG WebOS 6.
I want to connect my raspberry with Kodi to the tv through UPnP/DLNA.
I activated the UPnP on Kodi but I don't know how to make the tv "see" the kodi device.
In previous WebOS versions it was pretty simple (as I saw on youtube) but now the interface is completely different and I can't find any way to do this.
Has anyone had the same problem?

Thank you.

File Naming tags

$

Hi

Please move to the correct area if I have got the wrong one; it didn’t seem like a OS related issue.

I use tags at the end of the file for smart playlists.

I have a file named

Movie (2020)(2160p)(IMAX)(10bit)(hdr)

Now the movie is there on TMDB
However my tags are throwing the scraper off.
I use to use just date and resolution; however I use smart playlists for hdr, dv, Atmos, IMAX

Now I know my other movies work well with these tags but 10bit is new. I’m 95% removing that will sort my problem.

Is there a up to date list of all the tags Kodi will ignore? I saw a clean list thing and it didn’t even have Atmos or 2160p on it.

I guess I am asking:

1) am I right that the (10bit) is throwing off the scraper?

2) is there a list of all the tags?

3) there not case sensitive?

I currently use:
(atmos) (dtsx) (hdr) (dv) (IMAX)
and toying with:
(10bit)(12bit) - though I need to educate myself on it more!

4) some skins show little icons for these tags I believe. I am using artic zephyr, contemplating rapier - would the tags I use above work. I wish to keep my file naming the same -
movie with spaces (date)(res)(tag)(tag).mkv


Thank you for your time answering

Can't get Kodi to Run mpls files using strm files

$

Hello, I've asked this before, but this time I'm using the pastebin with my complete log file.  Please let me know if I need to do something else.

I can't seem to get Kodi 19.3 (Windows 10) to run the .mpls files in my Blu-Ray .ISO files using .strm files.  On my earlier versions of Kodi, I use .strm files to open the appropriate .mpls files in my Blu-Ray .iso files that I keep on my Windows Home Media Server.  This has always worked with my other Kodi devices on my network. 

Now, when I select a .strm file via Settings/Media/Videos/ <smb path>, instead of playing the .mpls file that is inside the Blu-Ray .ISO file, Kodi plays the Blu-Ray's studio's intro, movie trailers, and then tries to play the Blu-Ray's menu.  It acts like this is a physical Blu-Ray disk in a physical Blu-Ray player. Here is the Kodi.log file of what happens when I try to run the .strm file by Settings/Media/Videos/ <smb path>:

https://paste.kodi.tv/umiqisepil.kodi

If I select the .strm file using the Kodi File Manager, the corresponding .mpls file plays correctly, but the only way that I can add the .mpls file to my library is via Settings/Media/Videos/ <smb path>.  But when I do that, it always plays the Blu-Ray's studio intro, movie trailers, then the Blu-Ray's menu when I select the .strm file from my library.  It does this with all the .strm files.  This is the link to the Kodi.log file of what happens when I play the .strm file using Kodi File Manager and it loads the .mpls file correctly:

https://paste.kodi.tv/pelelupago.kodi

When I use Settings/Media/Videos/ <smb path> to run the .mpls file, it looks like Kodi is ignoring the text in the .strm file, and instead of playing just the .mpls file in the Blu-Ray .ISO file, it is trying to play the Blu-Ray .ISO file like a Blu-Ray disk.

I don't believe Kodi plays .strm files in File Manager the way it plays .strm files in Settings/Media/Videos, because in the kodi.log file, when I play the .strm file using File Manager, the kodi.log file says that "VideoPlayer::OpenFile:" opens the text (path to the .mpls file) in the .strm file, but when using Settings/Media/Videos, the kodi.log file says "VideoPlayer::OpenFile:" opens the .strm file.

Please help me figure this out.

Thanks!!!
