RE: Inconsistent playback of 4k UHD across devices and apps - fuelraccoon12 - 2025-01-10
Findings below. Behavior still persists. iOS Swiftfin with Native Player showed new behavior -- video stuck for a couple seconds then rapidly caught up. Audio persisted without error throughout. Tested again with worsening behavior.
This was tested with my original file, NOT against the ffmpeg remux. Should I test with that file as well, or rerun the command with the new ffmpeg version?

Framerate: 195fps

2nd play - Video started, skipped ahead few seconds, lost sound, lost video, returned seconds later audio and video considerably out of sync (~1:12 mark).

Adding more data to review: Went and installed Plex Media Server and played same file through Plex Web Browser and the Plex iOS app, both play just fine. Plex iOS app player info says Direct Play. Is any of this narrowing down troubleshooting? (Direct Streaming?)

No it does not help at all. It is the same as "but it plays in VLC". It does not provide any valuable information at all.
