On my Rpi 2 it's working fine with skin aeon nox silvo but I only see 2 controls with estuary skin..that s the one you r using..from your screenshot..Libreelec on Rpi...h265 videos where unplayable 2 years ago but now they done a huge inroad and plays flawlessly..

You say that Rpi2 can do H.265 in software decoding? *wow*...

Play,pause,rewind,ff they all work on mine...try to post the unwatchable sample and i ll try again..

I a few minutes ago edited my earlier post containing the links, file is back there. Or here

Try to change skin to aeon nox silvo from kodi repo and try again..

Controls are there, but they don't work... only stop-control has any effect. So I guess the aeon nox silvio is just not as adaptive as estuary...

Quote from Nicolas

The Only Thing I can think of is Metadata from tvheadend or fillbits in the original DVB Stream...

But would it be a hardware decoder thing of the RaspPi, or is it something in Kodi? On my Amlogic device running CoreELEC the exact same files work flawlessly...

Quote from Mario77

Did you try to change Kodi Skin?Could be a skin issue not loading controls..

It's a clean install, nothing changed from default.

Now I'm at a loss... I have recordings that are 1.4 GB and show no playback controls, but if I create a part as described above of a larger video even a 1.8 GB file shows playback controls. Anyone with an idea what in the original files can confuse the player?

OK, put the first few minutes (300 MB) online (edited link above).

Will try examples.

EDIT:

Interesting... When I run the linked in video, i.e. the 300M excerpt which I just created using

head -c 300000000 original.ts > part.ts

I get playback controls! Also, when I use the demo video no prob, but with larger files I consistently have missing controls. What I will do now is create growing sizes of chunks of the original video and see where it breaks down...

Here things are:

• Example video (3.3 GB) Part of example video (300M) <-- The part actually works! only the large file has no playback controls
• kodi.log Debug log including a video playback of above's example video

Here's a screenshot of the playback - you can see: Only stop-control is there, no FF/REW or other controls.

Please note: I'll at some point remove the file again - I in principle have not right to make it available, it is copyright protected. Please only use it for debugging purposes. Thanks!

Bug still there in 9.2.5. hotfix.

Thanks for sharing your insights! Digging a bit into the link CvH sent, it seems "only" HEVC in hardware and some DRM features are missing - sounds to me like they left the dark ages, but did not arrive at today yet...

Hi folks,

just stumbled across this Tweet by Libre Computer:

Thanks for any insights!

Quick heads up: Bug still exists in 9.2.3.

Certainly worth a try, thanks for the input! Any idea how to proceed? Any logs that might make sense to pull?

Can provide example video for anyone willing to check...

Only setting I was able to find was switch mmal on or off. You mean that one? If so: No effect... If not: Please guide me to the relevant setting. Thanks!

I also tried hdmi_enable_4kp60=1 in and out of config.txt. No effect, except that with it in my RPi gets unstable! Have no 4K display, so does not bother me...

Yep! Default Skin

Afterthought: Using CoreELEC on Le Potato the very same files work fine. Full playback controls available.

Hi folks,

just tried 9.2.1 on my RPi 4 2 GB. Thanks for all the work!

I face a problem: Playing back HEVC .ts files that are recordings of DVB-T2 shows I have no playback controls, i.e. I cannot jump forward or backward. Only control available is stop. Tried a clean install to make sure I had no old clutter, but problem remains.

If it helps, I can provide example files.

Thanks for help!

I uploaded an example for a broken video file here:

MEGA

[Edit: removed file - please PM me if someone is going to pick up the issue]

Go to 7:19 and let it play. At around 7:20 the glitch happens, and after that audio timing is off. When you start playing directly at, say, 7:25, everything is OK. Other players tested (CoreELEC on Le Potato, VLC on Windows) get over the data error with grace - a short interruption, and then video and audio continue just fine.

Would be happy if someone could confirm (or better: fix ) the problem.

I will not have the file online for too long, since I suppose I may violate copyright (although the same show is freely available via ZDF mediathek...)

Thanks for taking care!

Hi folks,

another one I'm afraid: When I play back videos, it happens perhaps once or twice an hour of playback that the lower third of the screen is turning green with an irregular border to the upper screen part. This is just for one frame or so and then gone again. I first suspected data errors, but it came up now so often with various media sources that I would rule this out.

Anyone else seen this?

Cheers
