Status: with the version of Kodi now in staging, and with considerable help from users, especially @JimMinch and @thechrisgregory we believe we have restored the behaviour to what it was before the March upgrade. The problem was a side-effect of a change we made to fix a problem in video playback.
All music files should play properly with the sole exception of the album Chris shared (Led Zeppelin 1 remastered in 24/96k). It’s possible the issue applies to other files from the same source (Tidal) in flac format. This exception applies to both Vero V and Vero 4k/4k+ and, I have to say, also to a well-known fork of LibreElec running on a cheap Amlogic Kodi box. We’ll continue to hunt down the cause but most users should be unaffected. Meanwhile, setting audio output to Fixed for these files works around the issue.
I’d appreciate it if you could test this and provide feedback on what works and what doesn’t. To test this update:
- Login via the command line
- Run the following command to add the staging repository:
echo 'deb http://apt.osmc.tv bullseye-devel main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list - Run the following commands to update:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot - Your system should have have received the update.
Please see if the issue is resolved.
I also recommend you remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list after updating.
This will deactivate the staging repository. You can do so with the following command:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list.
Please note that we will automatically disable this update channel after 14 days on your device in case you forget to do so to ensure that your system reverts to the stable update channel.
