I though that might be the case. There’s a bug with the Fire TV Max that causes a black screen with only audio when the content has both DV and HDR10+ metadata. Plex has addressed this issue in their client, but it seems there’s nothing in the works for the Jellyfin Android TV client as far as I can tell. Your options are to use Kodi with the Jellyfin add-on, strip the HDR10+ data from your file using this command:
Or you can force transcode the media, as you’ve done by disabling E/AC3. I'm not sure why it's failing, it should work fine that way. Instead of disabling E/AC3, you could force a transcode by setting playback to stereo instead of direct. I also have a Fire TV 4K, and I make sure my media is only in DV/HDR, avoiding DV/HDR10+ altogether.
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0 -c copy -bsf:v "filter_units=remove_types=39" output.mkv
