I am having issues playing certain 1080p files on my Amazon Fire TV.
I already know VC-1 files will not play correctly.
I tried doing a log and having it emailed to me, but I never received the email.
Just last night I tried playing a file, but got a bunch of green flashes on the screen.
My WD TV Live plays the file just fine, so it is not an internet issue.
I have wired connection.
Can anyone please help me here?

I get green flashes on certain files too, I think it's a codec issue, they play fine on my NUC.

Did you try the latest 13.2 beta?
There is a fix for some of those issues there.

This was a rhetorical question.
I'll make it clearer:
Please try XBMC 13.2 beta to see if it solves your issue.

I will assume the issue is with mkv files. If not then your on your own. Some mkv files and android dont play well together, not sure why and to me its pretty random. but how i fixed it was to use m2ts instead of mkv and all the files that used to have the green in them now play perfect. Might be worth a try.

Looks like I'm talking to a wall. Whatever...

So i just tested 13.2 with a file that had the green with earlier versions of xbmc. And it played fine, so seems the issue might have been fixed, i am unable to test anymore files right now. So i would just wait til 13.2 comes out and they update elmos launcher. or just use 13.2 beta and then install elmos if you feel the need to, up to you. But it is good to know that the issue is probably fixed.
