Unable to play The Matrix Bluray rip

Post by waldo22 »

I'm unable to play a Bluray rip of "The Matrix" on my 2017 Shield and I'm not sure why.

MrMC tries to play the file and the audio starts, but the video is always blank. After a short period, the audio cuts out as well.

I don't know if I got a counterfeit Bluray or not, but it looks legitimate.

The video plays perfectly fine with Windows "Movies & TV" and also with MPC-HC on Windows 10.

It's WVC1, and I ripped it to an MKV container without transcoding using MakeMKV.

Is this due to the content being WVC1?

Here are the properties from MPC-HC:

Code: Select all

Video: WVC1 1920x1080 23.976fps [V: English [eng] (vc-1 advanced L3, yuv420p, 1920x1080)]

If there's nothing obviously wrong, let me know and I'll post a debug log.

Thanks!

As I can see your video use VC-1 as codec. The shield seems to have Problems with decoding VC-1.

Wow, good find!

I'll check some more VC-1 content and post on the Nvidia forum.
