I scanned a bunch of MP3/M4A/FLAC files into my Kodi library off a sdcard from Settings / Media, and at first I could play them from within that Settings menu, but then suddenly one stopped playing in midstream as if the song had ended. Kodi then went on to play the next file in the folder, but after a couple of seconds the same thing happened, and so on until it went through all the files in the folder. I checked the log and found no error message that could explain this; the following are the only relevant lines I could find (full log at https://paste.kodi.tv/gewapupoxi.kodi). The same thing now happens when I try to play these files from the Music menu, although older files that I added earlier seem to still work; what should I do to make things work with the new files?

Rebooted Kodi and tried again. Now it gives up trying to play the files immediately and there are error messages in the log (https://paste.kodi.tv/fedoxixiyo.kodi).

Running on OSMC Vero V with Open Source Media Center

OSMC is a different support forum - https://discourse.osmc.tv/

This is NOT an OSMC problem! It is a KODI problem. The OS its running on has nothing to do with it.

This is NOT an OSMC problem! It is a KODI problem. The OS its running on has nothing to do with it.

doesn't matter, kodi was compiled by and provided by OSMC to you
if you note the top 2 lines of your log it states "(version for Vero)", Vero is a device from OSMC

they are responsible for your support not to mention part of the price you paid for their device

if you have an issue with CoreELEC you go to CoreELEC support, even though it's kodi under the hood
same for LibreELEC

just because Google is in charge of Android doesn't mean you go to google to support an Amazon device
