AVI files – sound, no picture with KODI v20 nightly 20240701



All,

As I stated a different thread on a v20 Wake On LAN (WOL) issue, it looks like a resolution has been made on that and moved into the v20 nightly builds.

With that being said, I had to move the MySQL deployment to the v20 nightly.  (And it looked like a good time to rebuild my NAS, etc., etc…  you know how that is.)

And with a large rebuild like that (50TB drive capacity rebuild takes some time), I have not yet had the opportunity to test WOL.

But I did uncover what may be a bug playing AVI files.   

(sidenote:  Yes, I know AVI container is old, and other formats have become more popular, but there is a LOT of AVI content on my drives so please indulge me.)

WHAT HAPPENS:  When I select a file, it starts to play, but all that plays is Audio.  The screen goes black and stays black until the file ends or is stopped.  This occurs with all AVI files that I attempted to play.

Of course, here is the log file:  https://paste.kodi.tv/wazeboratu.kodi 

Please let me know if this is temporary (as you are making changes to a player), self-inflicted (I have a setting wrong somewhere), or permanent (Kodi is abandoning AVI files).

Thanks!
