Have posted my experience on the AndroidTV github with the Firestick 4K max and am looking for insight from others:
Usually I wouldn't dream of posting on github without detailed evidence and logs which demonstrate an issue.... However I can't seem to home in on this enough to get specifics, nor do there seem to be any logs.
Basically I am running a brand new Firestick 4k Max with the current 0.15.11 Jellyfin AndroitTV client installed. If using Exoplayer, across numerous titles (appear to all be x265, some HDR), I will get "Player Error Encountered. Will re-try..." before being dumped back to the menu. This appears to happen when lowering the quality setting to force a transcode. HOWEVER, even when direct playing, eventually I'll get stuttering and pausing, then audio only. If I switch to libVLC, everything appears to play, however will then stutter, or audio/video go out of sync.
On my Nvidia Shield Pro however, running the same version of the client, everything works very well. So this issue is unique to the firestick 4k max.
Any ideas? Is there some sort of major Codec related issue with the Firestick 4K max?
