  • I tested this file with mplayer on my x86 Ubuntu laptop.

    It played for a while then got very confused

    and crashed here:

    It may be best to report this to ffmpeg - it is not a Pi specific or kodi/libreelec specific issue.

  • Haven't had a chance to try LE12 nightly, but glad to hear it doesn't seem to crash it.

    The file doesn't crash with my mpv install, but mine uses ffmpeg 6.0 so I wonder if they've already got a fix.

    Thank you for the replies.

    I think whether it crashes or not on a given platform is just luck - whether the invalid pointers accessed happen to point to previously allocated memory or not.

    kodi didn't crash for me on RPiOS bookworm (using ffmpeg 5.1.3) but did on Ubuntu 23.04 (using ffmpeg 5.1.2).

    But feel free to try LE12 and see if it is more reliable.
