Does this also happen in the stable release? And is the server transcoding/remuxing or direct playing the media?
Unable to confirm on my setup. Direct playback of VP9/Opus is currently working fine for me on FireTV Cube Gen3 with jellyfin-androidtv compiled from master about an hour ago.
As an aside, the video noted in the first issue report offers an avc steam perhaps it would be an option to download avc instead of vp9 when available.

Just tested this on Chromecast 4k (Android 12), with stable version 0.15.12, and indeed it still displays a black screen on VP9 videos.
Regarding transcoding, this is what the server reports on stable version:
(Says it's reencoding because of audio not supported)
And this is what it reports on the beta:
(Same thing)

Yes, that would be an option. But if the hardware is capable (which it is, given that these codecs are used in the youtube app) and the developer is interested in making it work it makes for a much better experience imo.
