Hey, I have the same issue with videos that would only play audio. Also I see no metadata or thumbnails for those videos.
It seems strange that Vero still does not support these? I run Kodi 19.1 and tried to disable all hardware acceleration but they still do not play?
Reading from the previous instructions I enabled the debug logs and reproduced, logs are here: https://paste.osmc.tv/ofutefigih
There are two videos in the logs:
/home/osmc/CriticalVideo/music/Billy Hlapeto x D3MO … Beli noshti (OFFICIAL VIDEO).mp4
/home/osmc/CriticalVideo/music/Ava Max - Kings & Queens [Official Music Video].mp4
I could find the following that confirms AV1 problem:
