Error playing video file

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.

Isn't that a 10bit h264 video? RPis are likely allergic to those.

Part 10 refers to the H.264 standards documentation. It's doesn't mean 10-bit.
