4K TV cannot play 4K H.264

Hi,

If I re-encode 4K video in ffmpeg with default settings to H.264 it plays fine on several 4K TVs.

When I encode 4K video H.264 in my app using ffmpeg on C/C++ this 4K video doesn't play on 4K TVs (LG, Sony, Samsung).

I can't see any significant difference between video files in parameters:

The problem is only with 3840 x 2160 60p video. 30p video plays fine.

This is your answer. I think that the HW decoder just doesn't support 60fps. What is the model name of the tv?

So you say that 60fps works fine?

Both videos were encoded with libx264.

Speaking 60p I meant 59.94p.

I encode video using ffmpeg C/C++ LibAV library. 3840 x 2160 59.94p

If I use NVENC encoder it plays fine on 4K TV.

If I use libx264 with same settings, 4K video doesn't play on 4K TV. However all sw players (VLC, etc) play fine this video.

Why you think that 59.94p is incorrect? I saw many video files with these parameters.
I didn't check true 60p video yet.

In PotPlayer "ok" is shown as 59.94fps and "problem" as 59.905fps. I would try to remux the file and see if it helps. And test also without audio, just to be sure.

If you de-mux the video and audio streams to elementary streams and re-mux them to either, MP4, M2TS or MKV you'll find that MediaInfo reports the video stream runs 119.880 FPS!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that my LG 65UH770V is unable to play any of your provided files...

Maybe it's something about the timings/timescale.

Try:
Code:
ffmpeg -i Problem-on-4K-TV.mp4 -c copy -bsf:v "h264_metadata=tick_rate=120000/1001:fixed_frame_rate_flag=1" -video_track_timescale 60000 "output.mp4"
Also try:
Code:
ffmpeg -i Problem-on-4K-TV.mp4 -map 0 -c copy -to 00:27 "to27.mp4"

PC video players don't care give them 53.8877 FPS and it will play it doesn't change it is not part of a major spec.

your files are not at the correct 59p fps which is 60000/1001 and not 59.940 (59940/1000) which is simply not the same. i think is unlikely but an internal media player in a Tv may reject bad to this they are at best unreliable anyway.
