Can´t play a specific media from Jellyfin Android TV - Shaky2468 - 2025-05-13

Hi everyone.

I'm having an issue with my Haikyuu TV show. I can watch it properly from the Web player on Firefox or Chrome, it works fine on Android, but on our Android TV running Jellyfin 0.18.8 it doesn't work. And by not working, I mean the video loads (the gray bar goes right properly) but only a frame is showed, it doesn´t play after that frame. Even when pausing and playing and even after moving around the timeline.

My server is hosted on a RPI 5 but I never had any issues whatsoever (be it while transcoding or not) for the past months. No hardware acceleration specified, and Jellyfin is hosted on a docker compose stack.

This is the kind of file I have :
- Haikyu!! (2014) - S04E01 - 061 - Introductions [Bluray-1080p v2][10bit][x265][DTS-HD MA 2.0][EN+JA]-iAHD.mkv
- Haikyu!! (2014) - S04E25 - 085 - The Promised Land [Bluray-1080p v2][10bit][x265][DTS-HD MA 2.0][EN+JA]-iAHD.mkv
Interestingly, other seasons work properly :
- Haikyu!! (2014) - S01E01 - 001 - The End and the Beginning [Bluray-1080p][10bit][x265][AAC 2.0][JA+EN]-audio.mkv
- Haikyu!! (2014) - S02E01 - 026 - Lets Go To Tokyo!! [Bluray-1080p][10bit][x264][AAC 2.0][JA]-Commie.mkv
- Haikyu!! (2014) - S03E01 - 051 - Greetings [Bluray-1080p][10bit][x265][AAC 2.0][EN+JA]-KH.mkv

Might be related to the DTS thing ?

What works is dropping the bitrate from the default 100mbit/s to 10mbits/s, it triggers transcoding and then it loads up properly.

How can I make it works like any other show or movies I have on my Jellyfin without needing to fiddle with that ? I have default settings for everything inside Jellyfin.

Here [are my logs](https://pastebin.com/NJW6xpi0), thanks in advance for taking the time to help me get a proper solution !
