I'm necroing a very old post here, but I ran into this issue and lowering the bitrate to force a transcode fixed it. If I had to guess, it might be an HDR issue.
Bug: Video is just 'black'. No audio, not actually playing. Serverside logs say playback started and say it stopped playback at 0 ms when going back. No client errors or anything visible.
Device:
* Raspberry Pi 4
* Konstakang LineageOS 23.0 Android TV (Android 16) (with full proprietary GPU drivers)
* Jellyfin Android TV 0.19.5.
The Android TV app is limited so much I can't see the Codec request or otherwise debug at all. However, per this thread, setting a bitrate below native forces a transcode and it immediately works.
