Kodi cannot play any vidoes.

uerhu · 2025-07-28 16:38:07

After I upgrading the system, kodi(21.2-12) cannot play any vidoes and it crashed, but it can play music.
when I downgraded kodi to 21.2-11 and 21.2-10, it crashed again.
I have tried ffplay and it worked well.

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

Nothing there looks overly critical, though.

After I upgrading the system, kodi(21.2-12) cannot play any vidoes, but it can play music.
when I downgraded kodi to 21.2-11 and 21.2-10, it still does not work.
I have tried ffplay and it worked well.

So what was the last working version (check /var/log/pacman.log) and what actually happens when "its does nots works"?

Thanks for your reply, I am new in arch.
When I installed it for the first, these did not seem to have any problem.
From then, there are only kodi 21.2-10, 21.2-11 and 21.2-12.And when I tried them, they all crashed when I clicked to play a video.
This problem has been occurring for a while, so there is nothing useful in pacman log.

And your pacman log will tell which exact versions those were, no idea how you'd conclude "here is nothing useful in pacman log", it will list every single kodi update as well as what else was updated when things broke.

they all crashed when I clicked to play a video

"crashed" leaving behind https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump ?
