Hi all,  
I’m testing OpenVidu demo for Android OS. I can join a to a room with multiple Android smartphones and see video streaming of all participants.  
Now I have modified Android demo to work on Android TV devices. I can see all participants in the room, but I see a black screen for all of them.  
In Andorid TV I am not publishing video, only receiving video.  
Best regards.

We haven’t tested OpenVidu in AndroidTV.

It seems some kind of incompatibility is found.

PR welcomed.

That must be codec related issue. Some Android TVs don’t support H.264 codec yet.

You can force a video codec with OpenVidu. Check the doc [Media Codecs - OpenVidu Docs](https://docs.openvidu.io/en/2.21.0/advanced-features/media-codecs/#forced-video-codec)
