On my vero4k, up to date running kodi 19, a particular media file causes the screen to go blank after a few seconds, but the audio continues to play. If I skip ahead/back briefly it returns but then disappears again after a few seconds of playing. Other media work fine. The problem file works fine on a linux desktop running mpv. Here is the mediainfo output:
