Hi,
Recently installed KODI 17.3 from the official feed (Kodi Launcher). My box is a Solo4K running the latest OpenVIX (5.0.023).
Though all movie files play just fine (incl. sound), the music files do not play. Or rather they play, but there is no output. The audio files are in various formats (the usual .mp3, .flac, etc.) and play fine on the laptop, from the NAS, etc. Note that the system audio sounds cannot be heard either.
First in KODI under Settings -> System -> Audio I noticed that "Audio Decoder" is blank and "Audio output device" is greyed out (and blank). Possibly a problem there. Could also be related to some advice on line that the KODI file /usr/share/kodi/system/playercorefactory.xml had to be changed to use a different player for audio files. Some suggested using mediaplayer2 or e2player (I ran a "find" on / but could not locate either, no trace of those in the feeds either unless I missed something).
Has anyone come across the same problem and fixed it? If it was fixed by modifying playercorefactory.xml could you provide the fragment of .xml to be inserted in the file?
Many thanks,
Mr_D
