SOLVED: Google Chrome Won't Play HEVC Video

[TheDreadPirate]

It invoked the stream builder with the determination that it needs to be transcoded.

Code:

[2024-05-24 13:47:04.766 -04:00] [DBG] StreamBuilder.BuildVideoItem( Profile="Anonymous Profile", Path="/Server_Media/Shows/Shogun (2024)/Season 1/S01E10.mkv", AudioStreamIndex=1, SubtitleStreamIndex=2 ) => ( PlayMethod=Transcode, TranscodeReason=VideoCodecNotSupported, AudioCodecNotSupported ) "media:/videos/a4595d61-d45a-e47d-f4b9-2ae3a46e7607/master.m3u8?MediaSourceId=a4595d61d45ae47df4b92ae3a46e7607&VideoCodec=av1,hevc,h264,hevc&AudioCodec=aac,opus,flac&AudioStreamIndex=1&VideoBitrate=2147099647&AudioBitrate=384000&MaxFramerate=24&api_key=<token>&TranscodingMaxAudioChannels=2&RequireAvc=false&Tag=d9b29a63b82be481f571cadbcde99750&SegmentContainer=mp4&MinSegments=1&BreakOnNonKeyFrames=True&hevc-level=120&hevc-videobitdepth=10&hevc-profile=main10&hevc-rangetype=SDR,HDR10,HLG&hevc-deinterlace=true&TranscodeReasons=VideoCodecNotSupported,%20AudioCodecNotSupported"

But before ffmpeg even starts playback is stopped.

Can you open the browser's developer console and share with us the output when you attempt to playback HEVC?
