If you forced direct play and the screen is black that means the device doesn't support the video. Either the codec or HDR type. Can you show me the media info for the file?
And the config I mentioned earlier (see quote below). If your video is a super high bit rate it is possible that the "auto" setting, which attempts to detect your network speed, made an incorrect determination and is transcoding due to it thinking your network isn't fast enough Did you manually select a high maximum bit rate?

Hi, I forced the bitrate to 120 in the Dashboard > Playback > Streaming setting and my internet speed is 300 Mbps.
But sometimes the Video plays in Direct play without any transcoding, I want this to be consistent..
Please check the file info and the settings below,
