I have a major issue since the v21 update, that is most of my movies won't playback any more (device is a fire stick 4k max). The movie starts, then after 5-10 seconds just stops, or if I try to skip ahead/back it just stops. It happens on movies that have played before as well as on new ones. It happens when starting them via library as well as when starting them from their folder.

From my experimenting I thought it would only affect files with 5.1 audio, not such with 2.0 audio. That is not the case, it just also happend with a 2.0 file.

I had a quick look into the log:
 Read - Error( -1, 32, Broken pipe )
 underflow: Error reading file - assuming eof
 Process - eof reading from demuxer

This never happened before I updated to v21.
I even checked with my older fire stick which still has 20.0 installed, and the movies in question do play there without any problem. (Via folders, obviously the library won't work because the remote mariadb is already migrated/updated).

Is this a known issue? Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do to fix this?


EDIT:
(initially I thought it would only affect files with 5.1 audio, not 2.0. This is not the case. Paragraph above updated.)

Have the exact same problem when it updated to Omega on Google Chromecast 4k today. Files that played yesterday quit within a few seconds. Have no idea how to get logs off of Chromecast device.

But this is not for all files though. So far only one set of files so it may have to do with particular encoding common to those files rather than a file read issue.

Edited: Problem with all files. In some it just freezes. Using SMB share. Could be a SMB version problem.

Edited with more debugging:
Problem is with SRT subtitle files in the same folder and same name as video.

The subtitles are disabled but Kodi does seem to read the file. If I remove the SRT file the video plays just fine. So, the problem appears to be with reading the SRT file in conjunction with the video file at least in my case. This is a regression bug in Omega.

Have eliminated any network or access related issues using other devices.
