MH>  Hi Masaru (or is Nomiya your first name?),

Masaru is first name.
In Japanese, I write Nomiya Masaru.

Yes.

MH>  Great! Do you mind sharing the "problem with the pipewire
MH>  configuration"? Perhaps the fix should go into the official pipewire
MH>  packages...

Most users do not have any settings of pipewire.
In fact, they don't even have to do anything to hear the sound.
Maybe that's why Google didn't give me any advice.

BTW, I was curious about the many filter files in the pipewire package,
and I was challenged by the idea that these meant that the sound could
be customized.
Finally, I'm able to create a sound that I like.
I enjoy my music every day.

Surprisingly, I am having difficulty playing Taylor Swift, and am
wondering if her songs are the reference audio for the settings.
(But I don't know how good her songs are... (^^;;).

Anyway, all I can say is that the sound changes a lot depending on the
settings.
Of course, it really shows off Van Halen's greatness. v(^o^)

MH>  Yep, that's what my patch added.

Sorry, I missed.

I do agree.

MH>  Do you have examples for these? h264 can be played here without issues.

There are a few, but what about these?

MN> > My kodi plays fine, but are these specifications?

MH>  Which ffmpeg packages are you using?

I forgot to mention that I build ffmpeg and many other files such as
spdlog in the form of static libraries to avoid conflicts with system
libraries, so I have been using ffmpeg 6.1.1 since late last year.
Needless to say, I have not changed the program structure of kodi.

But I don't think the problem of not being able to play has anything
to do with this.

Best Regards & Good Night.
