Solved Kodi 18 Alpha 2 and Latest Nightly - MP4 Playback Issue
#1
Hi All,

Installed Alpha 2 x64 and had no real issues, except when I try to playback some of my MP4 files, they fail to play.  Rolling back to 17.6 Corrects the issue.

Also tried "KodiSetup-20180625-6fcbb13a-master-x64.exe" with no success.

I tried copying the file locally to ensure It wasn't a Network/SMB issue, no dice.

Umm, thanks but we don't accept debug logs as PM. I am not the person that can help you with this issue. I simply asked you for more information so that when the developers come on line the information is there ready for them.

Please post here thanks.

 Apologies, was trying to avoid exposing config details to a whole community by targetting the Kodi Team specifically, either way.
