[FFMPEG Bug] AAC soundtracks not playing?

  • Hey guys,

    For a while I've had videos with an AAC encoded soundtrack not playing anymore, and I'm not seeing anything weird in my logs. So I'm looking for some pointers. I've just upgraded to the latest 8.1.1 beta to be sure there's nothing that has been fixed in the meantime.

    I have checked the audio settings in Kodi and there's no checkbox for AAC passthrough as far as I can see; nor does my receiver support it.

    Mediainfo output for the audio channel of one of the offending files:


    Kodi log shows the following:

    Thank you!
