Description Zsolt Udvari freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-04-03 04:49:58 UTC 
I've a Raspberry Pi B+. I'm using FreeBSD 11.1 on it.
The Kodi doesn't play some videos and it seems the "bad" videos are videos which contains ac3 audio (avi, mkv). The video starts but with blank (black) screen (can't see any video) and without any audio. Files with "MPEG-1 Layer 3" audio works well.

I installed Kodi on my laptop (x86_64) and check these video files: plays well.

Kodi is installed from FreeBSD repository.

What other informations do you need? Should I share some bad videos?

Zsolt,

You may want to report this to Kodi itself, because it doesn't appear that the port is likely at fault here.

Maybe a PEBKAC: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/kodi-doesnt-play-video-files-with-ac3-audio-on-rpi.65452/#post-386007

I've set off the "Audio Passthrough" and set the audio output to "2.0". Works fine.
