Jellyfin Android Client Black Screen

[safderun]

Your client likely doesn't support DTS-HD MA and you've disabled transcoding (from what you've said). It's likely trying to play without being able to do so. The issue doesn't lie with the media player, it's the media.

You can use an external player that works, you can enable audio-only transcoding, or you can re-encode the audio yourself to something like DDP which seems to be compatible.

BTW, I didn't disabled any transcoding options. Since I use the Jellyfin in LAN and the clients are modern, I generally don't need to transcode.

If my Android TV software doesn't support the audio codec, how can I make sure the audio is being transcoded automatically?

Here are the transcoding options for the user from Jellyfin web UI. The "Preferred transcode audio codec in video playback" option is already set to "Auto".



Even if I select the AC3 manually, the TV box doesn't play the video.
