No video output on SD channels. HD channels work fine

[da-anda]

While the app is working fine on my SHIELD, I have an issue on my new Philips Android TV running Nougat. I can watch all my HD channels just fine, but when I tune to a SD channel I only get audio, but no video. Please let me know if you want me to test anything and which logs you need (not sure I can get a logcat from it)

I've got the same problem since the Nvidia Shield TV was updated to Android 9. HD channels are working fine while SD channels don't give any output neither video nor sound.

Have you found any solution?

unfortunately not

Same problem here with Philips TV. HD works, SD not. On my Shield TV both HD and SD worked with the latest update.

Users report the same issue for the TVHClient app. SD channels use usually mpeg2 as a video format. The exoplayer library which is used for the player does not support this. The server needs to transcode the mpeg2 format to something different first. Then it should work.
