BD rips from makemkv don't play on shield

[archer75]

I rip a movie with makemkv and try to play it via the native player on nvidia shield and it won't play. Nothing, no errors.

If I take the same rip and run it through mkvmerge(not actually merging it with anything) that file plays fine.

There's something about how makemkv is creating the final MKV that the nvidia shield doesn't like. I wonder why this is?

[Woodstock]

When you run the MKV through mkvmerge, are any of the tracks re-ordered? Some players do not work if the audio tracks are in the "wrong place", i.e., an AC3 track found before (or after) an AAC track.

Hi, I have posted the mediainfo files formt he file that doesn't work on the shieldTV (straight rip with make mkv and below that the file that goes through mkvmerge (which does apparently work on the ShieldTV).
We are just trying to understand here exactly what needs to be fixed on the shieldTV (and/or makemkv) to get this working.
FYI,both files play perfectly on a windows PC - this is specifically about playback on the ShieldTV.

I've attached them as files so you can run a diff on them;

pixels2.txt is the one which doesn't work on the shieldTV, where as pixels3.txt does.
When I open them both up in makemkv, they appear to have the same info.
Please let me know if there is anything else that would help to diagnose this issue or even who we should direct this issue to.
