Unable to view pictures in Kodi via UMS
Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2015 4:00 am
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:
When I try to display the picture in Kodi, this error always comes up in the kodi.log file:
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.
