I have a single TV Show which kodi is unable to play. The exact same behavior occurs on both my Raspberry Pi and Windows installation.
Log can be found here: https://paste.kodi.tv/avidupediy.kodi
Reproduction steps:
1. Restart Kodi
2. Try to play any file for the show which has issues.
3. A "Playback failed" error is showed with the following message: "One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message."
Optional:
4. Try to play the any file of the show which has issues.
5. The "Remove episode from library" prompt is shown with the message: "This file is no longer available. Would you like to remove it from the library?"
The last message is false as the file is available and can be played through a different media player on the same windows pc.
Different files with the same extension (.mkv), Video encoding (HEVC), Audio encoding (AAC) work perfectly fine.
The show has been reencoded from h264 to HEVC to allow proper playback on the Raspberry Pi.
All video files have been scraped from a smb drive and data is saved in a central mariaDB database.
Other files with the same encoding that do work are also located on the same drive and database.
I suspect the error is related to the reencode but I have no clear information on why playback is failing whatsoever.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
