So there is a new behavior that I noticed after updating my AndroidTV client to 0.18.4.
Now, for any file that is being played, my server is remuxing it before playback is allowed. Though, if the file can't be remuxed quick enough, the client app throws an error "Playback Error Occurred." Everything seemed to be working perfectly with 0.18.3 and now this is new.
All of my content is in MP4 containers which is claimed by Jellyfin documentation to be compatible with AndroidTV.
I thought it could've been because my files have a .m4v file extension (which is still an MP4 container) but even when playing actual .mp4 files on the android TV, it still forces the server to remux it.
If I force the server to transcode the files, then there seems to be no issues but I want to be able to direct play my content as well.
P.S. I tried to recreate the issue on my computer (web browser) and could not recreate the behavior, therefore it's specific to AndroidTV.
Any help would be great!
