Comment:

 This is a known issue introduced to libx264 by
 https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264/commit/92d36908cbafd2a6edf7e61d69f341027b57f6f8.
 It's not a bug in the library but rather a bug in Samsung TVs and other
 hardware decoders that wrongly bail out when a bitstream value they are
 supposed to ignore is set to a value other than 0.

 It was nonetheless reverted by
 https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264/commit/f9af2a0f71d0fca7c1cafa7657f03a302da0ca1c
 as the amount of faulty devices is considerable, and there's no guarantee
 they'd get a firmware fix.

 Update your libx264 and recompile ffmpeg with it.
