Live TV STV HD (Astra 28.2 12012V) black screen

Hello all,

a few days ago I noticed a new HD channel on Astra 28.2°E (freq 12012.00V, DVB-S2, 8PSK, 27500 2/3), actually two:

  • STV North HD
  • STV Tayside HD
    I added them as usual (tvHeadend server on a different unit) and added them to OSMC (Rpi 3B client).

But when I tune to one of them only the audio is played, the video remains black (from the log it looks like the video stream is “unsupported”):

If i disable MMAL HW accel the video is played via software (100% CPU load with poor quality).
If I record from the channel and then and play the recording the video is still missing:

If I re-encode offline the video with ffmpeg and play the new file, it plays ok.

As far as I noticed this is the only channel(s) that present this issue.

Anyone noticed this and found the cause or a workaround?
