No wonder. The new .mkv file is a conflict in itself: Tweaking the level to 4.1 but leaving the framerate at 50fps. The maximum framerate for level 4.1 is 30fps for 1920x1080 resolution.

And note that the sample you posted has 50 frames per second but every pair of frames is identical. So you're not losing any motion smoothness by reducing the frame rate to 25 fps. If it had been live sports (which truly has 50 different frames every second) you would noticed a drop in smoothness after converting to 25 fps.

I have the exact same problem with a Panasonic TV. The media players in these things are not very advanced and very specific. When I hit a file that won't play, I use VLC to convert it. Tedious and lengthy process but it works. The VLC profile H.264 +mp3(mp4) is basic enough to play on anything in my experience.

I've advanced a lot since I started this thread. The best so far is to download a copy of Handbrake from this site and convert any videos that can't be played by your standard dumb-normal TV media player. Handbrake has lots of presets but it seems to me thaat anything MP4 or MKV in an X.264 container will work. Also, it's a good idea to convert the audio to stereo.

Just wanna add that for the videos that won't play, your idea of using FF.mpeg to convert them into a more compatible format is a good approach. You might want to consider transcoding the videos to a format that's known to work well with your TV, like H.264 in an MP4 container. Make sure to adjust the codec parameters and container settings accordingly.
As for the audio and video combination, ensure that you're using compatible audio and video codecs within the same container format. Using FFmpeg, you can try commands like: ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 -i input_audio.m4a -c:v copy -c:a copy output_combined.mp4.
By the way, Multitechverse might have some valuable insights or tools related to multimedia technology that could help you with your video conversion endeavors.Last edited by msdevelish; 30th Aug 2023 at 07:20.

Or buy a media player. Even US$20 devices can play 4K with h.264, h.265, vp8, vp9...

About the only thing that's missing in the cheapest devices is the AV1 codec.
