I have someone on my server trying to connect with Swiftfin, same problems. Black screen when playing any video. Dashboard/logs show it's playing direct, not transcoding, can't find anything in the logs that looks like an error, and videos work for all my other users on Kodi, Roku, Android, etc. I've heard "force direct play" is worth enabling in Swiftfin, also advised her to try changing video player in the options, and failing that to try Infuse.
I'll follow up if something works, otherwise would love some input.
Enabling "Force direct play" in the app settings fixed the black screen issue for me
