Kodi ERROR: send packet failed: End of file

I got a very strange problem with some video files ripped from DVD. The files contain one video track and several other audio and subtitle tracks.

During playback, at about 00:02:00, the video got stuck and only the audio continued to play. Into the kodi.log we can read the following error message:

T:1065    ERROR <general>: CDVDVideoCodecDRMPRIME::AddData - send packet failed: End of file (-541478725)
T:472      INFO <general>: Skipped 511 duplicate messages..

I started the playback again and pressed the Ctrl+Shift+O to display the Player Debug Info. I turned out that near the critical time point the video queue saturation parameter (vq) drops to zero and does not recover.

Playing the same file in a GNU/Linux computer using mplayer, we receive the followgin error message:

Possibly bad interleaving detected.
Use -ni option if this causes playback issues and avoid or fix the program that created the file.
