files not playing a second time

  • HI all,

    I've got a weird issue here, was wondering if it is a known thing.

    I've got my video files on a different raspberry, running raspbian (on a pi4). I connect libreelec (on a pi3) to it using sftp and play the files. No external drive is connected directly to the libreelec-pi.

    Recently I created a new folder, uploaded some videos and started watching, it worked flawlessly. I then got interrupted from a call, stopped, not paused, and started playback again, only to find out that it won't play back again. I tested with the other files in that folder, same thing happened! First time playback, no problem, second time playback fails, doesn't even start.

    I can play the files again when I rename the files, or rename the entire folder, but again, only once.

    They were *.mkv files, converting to m4v showed no difference in behavior.

    Anyone here who knows what might be going wrong? I'm going to test with other files in other folders, but I recall I can playback other files with the video's for the kids.

    Where can I find logging information in this kind of situation?

    thnx,

    Bart
