MP4 from BlueIris won't play on an Apple Silicon M1-based Mini

[TheWaterbug]

I also tested this with 3 different cameras: Amcrest, Wyze, and Reolink, and the results are the same. Anything downloaded without transcoding fails the ffprobe test, and anything transcoded to h.264 passes the ffprobe test.

All the files that fail the ffprobe test have the same type of error:

error while decoding MB xxx yyy

Does anyone have the ability to inspect these files to look at those macroblocks?

It looks like the update to 5.9.2.0 has fixed this!!!!!!

Clips downloaded via UI3, without re-encoding, now play back and edit properly on my Apple Silicon Mac!!

This is a huge, huge improvement for me, because re-encoding every single clip was really cramping my style, and completely offsetting the processing speed advantage of my spiffy new computers.

Thanks, Ken! I don't know what fixed it, but it's fixed!!
