I have a weird problem that has just started happening. I use playlists of MP4 files for trailers and this has always been fine. However, recently, the playlists will play fine to a point then a file will finish playing and stop on a black screen. I can press stop to get back to the menu or I can press skip but I can’t work out why it does’t automatically carry on to the next clip.
I have tried using handbrake to repackage as MKV but thus hasn’t worked either. See logs at /vomenetawe
Does this only occur with playlists?
Does this happen on the default osmc skin as well?
The skin you are currently using is something you have created yourself? Please try the OSMC or Estuary skin to see if the problem is there as well.
In addition I would recommend a change of your display settings…
We recommend people with 4K TV’s set their user interface (UI) to 1080p. Kodi’s UI is not optimized for 4K yet and this can put unnecessary demands on your device and can lead to a suboptimal picture quality, as well as potentially cause other issues.
The settings we recommend are as follows…
Settings>System>Display>Resolution> 1920x1080p
Settings>System>Display>Whitelist> (empty)
Settings>Player>Videos>Adjust display refresh rate> On start/stop
Some televisions may also need, or benefit from, the following being set…
System>Display>Force 4:2:2 colour subsampling> (enable)
With the above settings your UI will be output in Full HD and your 4K content will be output in 4K. If you have any doubt, feel free to upload some logs so we can verify that your settings are indeed correct.
