What exactly is the hybrid decoder?
Where in MX Player did you find that info?
When you play a video in the upper right it said SW. You click that and try to change it and the app tells you.
I've had this for a few weeks now and have been waiting for a fix but it seems this thread is near dead. I set transcoding to Software on the server and its still black screen with audio for all my Android mobile devices. Two of which have NOT updated as they are pretty old so I'm not sure this is "just" and Android update issue. My blackberry Keyone hasn't had an update in over a year and suddenly has this same issue.
I've had to move to Plex for the time being, I just wish their guide was as good as yours.
That is only for viewing using the web UI. Client transcoding settings are in the Settings > Player section of the client app.
That did it. I spent see the drop down up on the top right. Never realized their were more settings in the app.
