I tried to play an mkv video file, but the Kodi 21.0 Mac nor Kodi 20.5 tvOS cannot play it properly. I tried it with IINA (which is also ffmpeg based and it was displaying video)

Here is the log:

Please help me with this

Did IINA use software or hardware decoding? Because the problem is with the hardware decoding. If you disable hardware decoding it will likely play in Kodi.

I also encountered the same problem. Convert the MKV video file to another format like MP4 to see if Kodi can play it properly. You can use external video conversion tools, such as Handbrake, to perform this process.

No, it looks like IINA falling back to software decoder if it cannot decode the video with hardware acceleration.
