AVI audio is out of sync since 18.0 *fixed* #15784
Comments
Where is your debuglog? As the log is missing and we can't see it....is your problem solved by enabling "Sync playback to display"? |
Synchronizing playback with the display or screen to match playback makes no difference. |
i ve tested your demo video file on Nvidia Shield (Android) and Windows, both playbacks are looking exactly same without a problem. |
Kodi seems to have a problem here with H/W acceleration of MPEG-4 ASP videos with the Android Media Codec (AMC), which only affects AMLogic and Mediatek chips. I can confirm that it does not occur with Windows (DXVA), nor with Snapdragons (AMC). |
Funny, your demo video works on my FireTv 4K (3rd generation), while I have huge problems with other MPEG4 on this plattform. Maybe the issues are related: #15599 |
@stepman0 I'm referring to the German audio track. Did you listen to it on the Fire TV and was it in sync? (pay attention to the screaming of Carlos with his hands, that's the best way to notice it!) |
if needed i can upload a logcat when playing this file |
@M2k80 yes, please provide your logcat. |
kodi start at line 6312 |
@rainman74 did you found something usefull? |
@lukjak Read the post in the link in detail, there is everything you need to do to play videos smaller than 600 pixels smoothly with the software decoder. |
Here is another sample file I have issues with: At last watch, issues started at 8 minutes, then happened 4 times more before the end. At each time I needed to pause, rewind a minute or so and play again in order to restore sync and get rid of video stuttering. Also, at first problem occurrence the video was rapidly rewind until the start of the file instead of just some seconds. Hope it helps. |
As I experience issues with HD/FullHD as well, does it mean I am out of luck as this would need stronger hw to be decoded in software? |
SD videos should play back any available Android hardware in software fluently. |
I have the same problem only on Sony Bravia. Version 18 on the phone Huawei P30 is OK |
Same problem on Sony Bravia 65XD7505, after system update last month. |
Does anybody found a fix for this? I have the same problem on Sony 60XF8305. |
install VLC and use playercorefactory.xml
|
I think I found the solution. Set to OFF HW acceleration. In my case that was the problem |
With Android (Sony TV) you would have to switch off HW-decoding via decoderfilter.xml but then the picture quality really gets visibly worse and it jerks slightly. Even with 480p content. VLC does not have this problem. |
I don't see that quality of picture is worse. I mostly have 1080 movies and 5.1 sound |
me too meanwhile, but the good old series are still many in DIVX ;-) |
The difference in picture quality is enormous with Sony TVs, as special picture enhancement filters take effect here with HW decoding, which are not available with SW decoding. And especially with upscaled SD Content it looks great. Sony calls that 4K HDR-Prozessor X1™ |
Hi have you upgraded from Nougat to Oreo? |
Same issue here, Sony X950G with latest updates, Kodi 18.7. Disabling mediacodec fixes the issue. VLC on the tv works fine. |
yes ;-) |
@rainman74 any quick & easy trick to set such |
playercorefactory.xml not works 4 me because VLC can't access to my NAS's shared folders, still can't understand, why (and other players like MX Player or Kodi itself - can access it without problem) |
So still waiting for fix in Kodi |
You only have to start the VLC app once and browse the shares manually, entering user + password. From then on KODI can start VLC and VLC can also play the files. |
There will be no fix. The Kodi team does not see it as relevant to support old proprietary formats. I can understand that on the one hand, but on the other hand it would have been easy to re-implement that. |
Simply save the file above and copy it via ADB into the appropriate directory /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/playercorefactory.xml |
Guys....it would be really cool, if you would stop giving support in here. This is not the forums and with every post in here you are notifying a bunch of devs with emails. So please stop that. Use the forums for any help. I don't want to lock this conversation, but I will ;) |
Sure, forum link for this issue is here, everyone please post there instead: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=342165 @DaVukovic, that thread is marked "Solved" which discourages users from posting to it or finding it. Perhaps it should be "Won't fix" instead. |
Noone says that it's not useful to post "useful" information in here. Or discuss the topic. But the topic is not how to create a playercorefactory.xml or how to implement an external player. This has nothing to do with the current topic at all. Hence I did NOT say "Stop posting here". My wordings might have been more clear by saying "Please stop giving off-topic support" Anyway.... @rainman74 is able to edit his own thread/posting and mark that thread to whatever he wants it to be |
Thread is reopend |
Dear devs, just wonder if you are planning to fix this issue in v19. It has been quite a long time since this issue was reported. Many Thanks ! |
Tested with Kodi v20.4 and the problem no longer occurs. The audio is now played correctly. |
