QDMC Audio

p_g_787 · January 16, 2019 at 8:15 PM

So I have a problem with one music video in my library. It plays the but there is no audio.

If I recall this video is a quicktime video.

The video codec is SVQ-1 (Sorenson Video v1)

The audio codec is QDMC Audio (QDMC)

I searched the add on repositories for QDMC but cannot find a codec. Is there one?

Not that I know of.

If it's just one video... Why not try and convert it to a better supported video (and audio) format?

I would like to keep it in this format if possible as it is the format it was on on the original VCD.

You can keep the original file for the VCD player, and use a converted version for your other media players.

It seems already that plenty of other media players also do not support this odd/old format. A converted copy would help IMO.

I tried playing the video on VLC player on Ubuntu 18.04 and it works fine. It also works on Kodi on the same Ubuntu PC.

So there is a a codec to play quicktime QDMC audio. Question is what is it an how do I install in on libreelec?

searching Quicktime or QDMC in the add on repository shows no results.

#5651 (add QDMC decoder) – FFmpeg

git.videolan.org Git - ffmpeg.git/commitdiff

^ ffmpeg appears to support the format, so you should post an issue on the Kodi GitHub tracker along with a debug log demonstrating the problem and a sample of the video so that one of the developers can reproduce the issue.

I have not submitted anything to kodi github before. Can you send me a link to the correct place to submit to please?

Also, where can I find the kodi debug log?

Thanks
