The Dolby developers even determined it was an issue with FireTV. Workarounds include using the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi. You can check out the bug report here for more details—it’s quite an interesting read.

    Another possible workaround is to force transcoding by setting the audio to stereo or reducing the bitrate. This issue impacts both generation 1 & 2 devices, so if it’s working on a gen 1 device, it’s likely due to transcoding.

    It's not worth the hassle, if it's an option return it.

    Lol wow that was an interesting thread... and it actually makes me feel better that the team at Dolby seems just as confused as I am regarding why their codecs are working on some firesticks but not others.  

    Yea, it's getting returned; but, for anyone that is stuck with a 4k Max Firestick and trying to get a file to work... I can confirm that stripping the HDR10 metadata from the file by using the following command does make the file playable using VLC.

    ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0 -c copy -bsf:v "filter_units=remove_types=39" output.mkv
