Android TV app black screen - Brumes - 2025-01-04
When attempting to play any media on an TV via an android box/android TV app there will just be a black screen, with no audio and the play head will not advance.
The dashboard shows the client as playing the media and indicates the client is receiving the media without modification.
Atleast some of those now not playing files were played via this setup before, the only changes will have been a server update and updates of the android tv client.
The files still playback fine on a browser/phone/PC client.
Changing quality to attempt to force a transcode also does nothing.
I have ran at least one file through FFMPEG mkv->mkv but this file shows exactly the same behavior.
I have attached the log, and also an FFMPEG log for one of the files.

Strangely enough the playback was working again now, it seems maybe the set top box was being weird/might be dying.
