Firestick display issues - Alc - 2024-11-23
Hi all,
Having some issues with the display on my firestick. There is a bar around 3/4 of the way through and the image is then somewhat repeated. There's also colour in the lower part of the letterbox.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

never seen that, which firestick gen is this?
Are you transcoding or direct playing?

There's a bug with the Firestick affecting content playback that contain both Dolby Vision and HDR+. I've encountered the same split-screen issue before. See the linked issues below.
https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/957

A workaround involves removing the HDR+ metadata from the file using FFmpeg:
Code:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0 -c copy -bsf:v "filter_units=remove_types=39" output.mkvAnother workaround is to lower the bitrate or set your audio output to "stereo" in the Android TV settings to trigger a transcode.

Ahh that would make sense. I've got a Samsung TV so it can't play DV from what I understand so I've been using HDR fallback. Can I remove the DV from the metadata for the same effect?

Yes, that should work too. See Dread's post on how to remove it.
