I got a very strange problem with some MKV 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.

This was quite surprising because the encoding and muxing were done with ffmpeg.

Fortunately enugh it was possibile to fix the file files without re-encoding them. It was necessary to extract all the streams as single files and then re-mux them all together.
