Error playing video file

1st Official Post

    Hello,

    First I have to say I am a noob.

    I am using LibreElec 8.2.5 RPI2.arm on RASPBERRY PI 3 MODEL B, I have license for MPEG2 video but some video can't be played, the last one has codec:

    Stream 0

    Type: Video

    Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)

    Resolution: 1920x1090

    Display resolution: 1920x1080

    Frame rate: 25

    Decoded format: Planar 4:2:0 YUV

    Stream 1

    Type: Audio

    Codec: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)

    Sample rate: 44100 Hz

    Bits per sample: 16

    Bitrate: 1411 kb/s


    There is an option to install omxplayer on LibreElec or to try another video player ?

    MMAL is the technically better player, but you can switch from MMAL to OMXplayer in Kodi settings. You might need to enable 'Advanced' or 'Expert' mode in Kodi settings before you can see the option to change it. NB: The codec info shows H264 not MPEG2 so the license is irrelevant. You need to pastebin a Kodi debug log file if you want to anyone to look into the issue properly.
