Hello. I just bought a Hisense 65" Android TV and installed VLC so I can play videos from an external hard drive (it is a 2TB WD drive with its own AC power source). I have many dozens of films and TV shows that I've collected over the years and ripped from my DVDs onto my computer. They all work fine playing through VLC on my 3 computers, but most of them will NOT play in VLC on my TV. The error lists the file path and file name and says the mp4 or avi "cannot be played" (not terribly helpful ). Then it launches the next video which it can play.
What's strange is that this will happen with videos that were all ripped at the same time from the same source (like from a series of TV shows). Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it? Many thanks!
