Some movies not playing

[jeromey]

Hi guys,

I've bought a Pi2 couple a weeks ago, installed a few OSes, tested around to come to the conclusion that Openelec works best for my needs.
Atm i use Berryboot to boot into Openelec. In Kodi i installed about everything i needed ( spotify, sabnzbd, couchpotato etc).
And after a couple a days of strolling the internet everything works like a charm. Everyting accept some movie playback.

I just get a black screen. When i hit fastforward i see the movie in fast forward, as soon as i hit play again i get a blackscreen.
I bought the 2 codecs from the Raspberry pi pages, entered the code into the config.txt located on the root of my SD.
Using putty Terminal: vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2 and vcgencmd codec_enabled WVC1 both give me an enabled.

Then i thought the movies that didnt play where all AC3 coded, but also some without AC3 refuse to play.
My Pi2 is directly connect to my LG TV with a Hdmi cable. The TV is 3 weeks old, and according to the manual it supports AC3.

I could try a couple of more days googling, but maybe there is someone here that had or has similar problems.
Any help would be appreciated

Regards,
Jerome

Enable "advanced" settings mode in Kodi

Then in, system --> system --> audio output
Enable passthrough, set a passthrough device, and enable AC3

Thanks for the reply,

Tried that, still no luck.

But after i turned off Omxplayer Hardware acceleration all movies played fine.

hhmm was it really that easy?

Turning off omxplayer turns off hardware acceleration, so all decoding is done in the CPU. You don't want this really.

If you can provide a log via ssh after trying to play a file that may help.

Code:

cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | paste

Hi,

Think i found the failure myself.

in System - system - Audio Output - audio output device . I switched it to HDMI (it was on HDMI + Analog)

All movies play now, with Hardware acceleration on.
