After an update to 2025.08-1 videos are not playing and weird visual effects

lookidok · 23 August 2025 12:13

I am not sure what was included in the last update, but I am having real issues using OSMC to play videos, either via Jellyin, locally or even streaming. It will either give the spinning wheel after a glitch on the SPDIF audio interfce (the same that happens as soon as Kodi starts and has been an issue since I got the Vero V. The Vero 4K never did this) and then spins around saying either buffering while playing the file with no sound and no video or as you will see, the screen fickers like mad and you can here the videos audio playing.

Here are the logs of each

Via Jellyfin. (Video of it here)

The plot sickens. So just decided to do a reboot (Why not?), and see if there was anything wrong. Turns out one very important systemd services is failing to complete.

● systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules

Methinks, this is related.

Curious about this I tried to insmod it.

insmod  /lib/modules/4.9.269-84-osmc/kernel/drivers/osmc/amvdec_mh264.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/4.9.269-84-osmc/kernel/drivers/osmc/amvdec_mh264.ko: Key was rejected by service

That is not good. I was not even aware the Vero V was using secure boot. Let’s look a little deeper.

mokutil --sb-state
EFI variables are not supported on this system

Ok this is officially weird now. How can there be a kernel module key rejection, when secure boot is not even enabled.

Down the rabbit hole we go, no one know what it will show.

FWiW the SHA256 sum is this, in case I just got unlucky with a corrupted file

sha256sum  /lib/modules/4.9.269-84-osmc/kernel/drivers/osmc/amvdec_mh264.ko
85ee7990914187a31e10bc6ce423f4d7ef946b7c06f621a48295eca78c799c1a  /lib/modules/4.9.269-84-osmc/kernel/drivers/osmc/amvdec_mh264.ko

Thoughts @sam_nazarko ?

To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload logs that demonstrate your problem. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.

Depending on the used skin you have to set the settings-level to standard or higher, in summary:

enable debug logging at settings->system->logging
reboot the OSMC device twice(!)
reproduce the issue
upload the log set (all configs and logs!) either using the Log Uploader method within the My OSMC menu in the GUI or the ssh method invoking command grab-logs -A
publish the provided URL from the log set upload, here

Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.

Nope found the solution.

OK that nails it.

I downloaded the disk image for the Vero V , unpacked it and did a sha256sum and guess what?

sha256sum amvdec_mh264.ko
061a2e372ffcbe050f0386db0af5e81bdb4b29f59e8fc9a84abe509f39f7457d  amvdec_mh264.ko

So I copied it to the Vero Box, move the suspicious module out of the way, copied the replacement in its place. Rebooted. Problem fixed.

How bizarre, was I really the only one to get a corrupted file?

How bizarre where you the only one not posting logs

Hard to tell without logs. We haven’t had other reports of this but will keep an eye on it.
