Unable to view pictures in Kodi via UMS

[TheDefiant604]

I can't view pictures in Kodi, formerly XBMC, via UMS. When I try to view pictures via UMS, all I get is a generic video thumbnail when I select a picture, and a blank screen when I try to display the picture.

When I select a picture in Kodi, this error always comes up in the kodi.log file:

Code: Select all

WARNING: JpegIO: Error 53: Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x%02x 0x%02x

When I try to display the picture in Kodi, this error always comes up in the kodi.log file:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Error loading the current image 0: upnp://3c05b8ab-8e6b-43a1-8ab5-907e9b03706d/62/

I should note that this exact same error occurs for any image type. BMP, PNG, GIF and even JPG were tested with the same "Not a JPEG file" error reported by Kodi.

There is nothing wrong with the pictures, as they can be displayed without issue on the local machine where UMS is running and on a PS3 via UMS, including thumbnails. Kodi also does not have any issue displaying the same pictures through a Samba share. The issue seems to be only with the combination of Kodi and UMS.

Attached is the UMS-generated debug zip file, including a snippet of the Kodi log file showing the two errors as I tried selecting and then displaying a JPG file in Kodi, via UMS.

I am having a similar behavior.
I have enabled jpg content by adding:

Supported = f:jpg m:image/jpeg

to the ums xbmc.conf

An openelec (5.0.8) kodi which runs on an RPi2 list the jpg files on the ums but whenever I am trying to display a picture, the screen shows a blank picture.
