As the title says, some of my videos show “no video”/black screen after being optimised by my Shield TV server. The sources are mpegts taped from a DVB stream without any re-encoding. I want to optimise them for direct play on my android phones.
Optimisation of other files, e.g. H264 mkvs, works fine.
Here is the .xml for both source and optimised version of one of the trouble makers:
