I thought I had beat this one but I haven't.  Now, some work and some do not.  I suspect that I need to download some stuff which I though I had all off (ubuntu restricted extras).  Now, some work, some do not work.  The strange thing is that they all work with Videos and VLC but not Kodi.

Thoughts?

The log doesn't tell much why the video is failing. Could you provide a mediainfo for that file

[jwhitt12]

Thank you for the response.

I have installed mediainfo and gui mediainfo.  I have read the help, etc. and am confused.  Would it be possible for you to send me a command to put in my terminal?  I messed with it a bit and decided to ask because I failed.

It's quite simple to place the output into a text file: mediainfo /path/to/videofile.ext > output.txt

[jwhitt12]

Thank you for the reply. 

mediainfo /path/to/videofile.ext > output.txt  I think this means to tell mediainfo to go someplace, get the data and send it to output.txt.  My problem is that I have no idea what "videofile.ext" really is.  I searched for such and failed.

Thoughts?

My problem is that I have no idea what "videofile.ext" really is.

What do you think the mediainfo tool is for? It's for getting details of (mostly) video files. "videofile.ext" is a dummy file example.
If you run a PC with Ubuntu, you should have some idea how a terminal session and its command line works..?

mediainfo myfirstvideo.mkv (or whatever your video filename is) should get you some result.

OK, got something.  Had to change a name to get media to take it.  Apologies for all the problems.

Here is what I got: https://paste.kodi.tv/acafalecip
