Some Criterion Collection 4k won't play on AndroidTV Client - AudioVisualAndy - 2025-02-10
I have a handful of Criterion Collection 4k videos that do not play using the Android TV Jellyfin client. They play fine using the Web client.
I assume that there is a transcoding issue, either Audio or Video, but how can I verify exactly what is the problem?
Some examples: The Princess Bride and The Long Good Friday.
I am running 10.10.3 in Docker, on a Synology NAS.

Can you share your Jellyfin logs via privatebin.net?
(Sorry, I missed this post yesterday)
RE: Some Criterion Collection 4k won't play on AndroidTV Client - AudioVisualAndy - 2025-02-12
Here is a cleaned version of the log: https://privatebin.net/?12212a1718c95748#C5Be5CpKPjDfQGC3hjLuioxgVriraRv79AbVHn9GoKWv
Cleaned up to remove some of the Trickplay error messages.
When I play the movie, the screen is just black, and doesn't time out. When I go to the on-screen controls, I see the movie is paused. When I push play, the screen stays black and doesn't time out. I think the stream timeouts correspond to when I press the 'Play' button on the onscreen controls, after I already "started" the movie.
I should mention that this ONLY happens with Criterion Movies, and usually, it has an encoding like PCM S24LE, but sometimes, movies with that encoding work, so it's not a silver bullet.

Provide the complete media info for two of the files that you are having issues with. Also, what device are you running the Jellyfin ATV client on.
RE: Some Criterion Collection 4k won't play on AndroidTV Client - AudioVisualAndy - 2025-02-13
I will get the metadata info tonight, what's the best way to accomplish that?
RE: Some Criterion Collection 4k won't play on AndroidTV Client - TheDreadPirate - 2025-02-13
In the Jellyfin UI in a browser, click on the "..." context menu for the movie and click "media info".

I started playing the Long Good Friday, and then The Princess Bride on the web client and these messages were in the Log:

In both cases, the Web Client successfully plays the movies.
However, my AndroidTV (Sony) fails to play them. I am running the latest AndroidTV client
RE: Some Criterion Collection 4k won't play on AndroidTV Client - TheDreadPirate - 2025-02-14
Borrowing part of @theguymadmax 's copy+paste for this issue.
Jellyfin has issues with Dolby Vision profile 7.6. That specific profile is NOT compatible with anything except bluray players and some software decoders. It has "fallback" profiles for 8.1 and HDR10, but Jellyfin (or is it exoplayer?) does not fallback to those compatible profiles.
Workarounds:
Workarounds:
- Remove DV Metadata: Follow the steps in this forum thread to strip out the Dolby Vision metadata.

- Use Kodi as an external player for the ATV client: Kodi allows you to choose the format compatible with your TV. You can disable Dolby Vision or HDR10+ as needed.
- Use Kodi with Jellyfin Plugin: Kodi allows you to choose the format compatible with your TV. You can disable Dolby Vision or HDR10+ as needed.
On your browser clients, Jellyfin is transcoding it from the get go.
RE: Some Criterion Collection 4k won't play on AndroidTV Client - AudioVisualAndy - 2025-02-14
Thanks for the reply, I am glad I finally know why it is failing and how I can play them.
Is there a guthub issue I can track to see if/when Jellyfin can handle this DV profile, either by decoding it or by falling back to a profile it does support?
