Hi guys,
I'm having some issues playing 4K content on my FHD fire tv.
When I start playing the content using the default player, expecting a transcode from my server, nothing happens and even if my server starts transcoding for about 10 minutes on the tv I don't see anything.
I tried even using VLC as an external player but even with it I cannot see anything and the content starts but with a black screen with only audio.
I tried lowering the bitrate to 5Mb to see if something changed but, even there, nothing.
I really cannot wrap my mind around this because if I try to play content on other FHD devices (not fire tv but Android phones) it works perfectly fine transcoding accordingly to the device.
All the files I've tried are h.265 4k.
Some advice?
