Disney+ - Green screen with HEVC (H265) stream #583

Since some time I get a green screen when I want to play a HEVC (h265) stream. Sound does work. When I switch to H264, the stream works fine.

I' am running Libreelec 11 with kodi 20.2 on a pineH64 (allwinner H6 SOC). When i run HEVC test samples they play fine, so it should have something to do with the stream. Network shouldn't also be a problem as H264 works fine, and I don't have issues with other addon's.

I get this (very) occasionally on Android. I think it happens with Dolby Vision streams on the Disney add on. I might be wrong but I doubt there's anything Matt can do as it's down to whether a device can process Dolby Vision correctly.

@keiem I believe this could be related to a missing software H265/HEVC decoding in LibreElec. Due to the DRM the streams on Linux other than Android fallback to software decoding (Netflix addon). Were the HEVC test samples decoded using the hardware decoder, maybe that's why you observe no issues there?

At least this was the case in #334 for older RPIs. Maybe the same issue exists here too.

That's possible. I will check if I can see if it's using software or hardware decoding. Strange I didn't have it in the past, it's only recently.
