Full Version: No video - audio only

I've just noticed that one series of a box set plays with audio only. I've read a lot about this and thought it was an issue with old versions but I'm running 16.1.

My system is a 4K Sony Bravia - KD49X8305C (Android TV) and it has the latest firmware.

I've checked disabling hardware acceleration and it works, although this seems like a bit of a fudge rather than a fix.

The thing that is baffling me most is that I've looked at the codec info for the first episode that doesn't play and the first in the second season that does play properly and both are identical according to VLC.
Quote:Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
Resolution: 1280x738
Frame rate: 23.976216
Decoded format: Planar 4:2:0 YUV

Also, all the episodes play fine on my phone and laptop with Kodi.

Any ideas?
Disable mediacodec and retry.
Sorry for not getting back, was having some computer issues.
As I mentioned, disabling acceleration works but doesn't seem like a real fix. And I'm still confused about when one file would play while the other doesn't?
