You're currently at log level 0, which is fine for me. In the future, switch to log level 2 by adding this line to advancedsettings.xml:

<loglevel>2</loglevel>

This error appears right before starting the movie, but I don't know whether it's relevant:

The error is related to AC3 audio decoding at non-pass-through mode:

You can try to enable pass-through mode at the audio settings. Then AC3 will be decoded by the receiving device, not by RPi.

Please post a link to a complete kodi.log (log level 2).

Unfortunately you have illegal add-ons installed. This means:

a) those add-ons can be the cause of your issue

b) it stops our support until you have been uninstalled all illegal add-ons

c) because a) is possible, this thread will be closed

Do you have GUI sound or no sound at all?

Do you connect directly to TV, or RPi -> AVR -> TV?

Are you sure <pixelratio> belongs to advancedsettings.xml? I can't find that parameter at the docs.

The Kodi doc says about video calibration:

Quote from 3.2 Video calibration

Note: Always adjust the TV display settings first. Most issues are due to overscan and similar settings being enabled on the TV/monitor. Trying to adjust this setting in Kodi while these settings on the TV are enabled will have you running in circles and never being able to fix the issue.

So I think your issue is related to overscan settings. Read about overscan settings at config.txt (disable_overscan, overscan_scale etc.).

Yes, something like that works for many users with the same issue:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16

Configure hdmi_group and hdmi_mode parameters as described at my above link.

PS: If you use hdmi_cvt instead, then hdmi_group and hdmi_mode are not needed.

Probably your connected hardware (AVR / TV) is the problem. You can enforce an HDMI mode at config.txt. Read here about editing.

Yes, the AVCHD specs say that USB 2.0 is too slow, and USB 3.0 is fine.

Try to rule out network errors:

Quote from Hansie

I have a ex-android box now running Coreelec (Sadly my libreelec box is a Rockchip one and audio passthrough totaly does not work on that ) with Kodi 18.8 and running the Jellyfin Addon in Addon mode.

We don't support CoreELEC. Sorry, I have to close this thread.

So I had a look at your add-on list. Bad news, you use Super Repo, which is illegal. No further support from us.

Your "JotunTV" add-on is the problem:

Sep 23 16:16:15 JotunTV kodi.sh[5141]: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
Sep 23 16:16:15 JotunTV kodi.sh[5141]:   what():  std::bad_alloc

You can use the update folder method to go back. Personally I would start from scratch with the latest LE (maybe on a different microSD), and find out step-by-step when playback goes out-of-sync.

Function calls are part of the script(s) you've been installed. Edit it.

Yeah, looks like a buffering issue, and the reason for that could be your latency setting at advancedsettings.xml:

<advancedsettings version="1.0">
    <video>
        <latency>
            <delay>166</delay>
        </latency>
    </video>
</advancedsettings>

Millman Read here. Post your kodi.log as a link (Pastebin as source for example).

earnie Maybe our showcase can help you.

Connect your HTPC directly to the TV, do the above EDID procedure, and then go back to the HTPC -> AVR -> TV hardware setup.
