It seems that I have a workaround to get movies playing.
If I use the osmc remote, browse the library and start the movie. Then immediately (maybe after 3 seconds) I press the “back” Button on the remote (the one with the arrow; the first of the six lower buttons).
So the movie keeps playing but you are back in the library.
And then I click once more on the movie, so it starts again. But then the movie is playing without any problems.
The problem is, I have to start every movie twice.
The other option is to deactivate the “Allow hardware acceleration - amcodec” then the movie is also playing, but I think it’s not so fluent.
The adjust display refresh rate is set to “off”
Changing this option doesn’t solve the problem.
Sync playback to display - off
minimise black bars - off
display 4:3 video as - Normal
Enable HQ scalers… - 20%
allow hardware acceleration - on
- mpeg2 - always
- mpeg4 - hd and up
- h264 - always
