It seems that the file is initially attempted to play directly, but after a short time, an error occurs. This causes the system to fall back to transcoding the file, which then fails.
I experience the same issue when using ExoPlayer clients, such as the Jellyfin for ATV client, with 7.1 FLAC audio. I often see the following error in the debug logs:
As a workaround, I have to enable "Prefer FFMpeg for audio playback" in the Developer options on the Android TV client.
Edit: I found the same issue here. Unfortunately, there was no solution provided, only the workaround I mentioned.
