    Direct play on TV takes several minutes to start

    Direct play of H264 takes forever on my TV to start, while it starts instantly on my computer.

    I'm wondering why some of my movies/episodes seems to hang forever/for a very long time (about 3-4 minutes) when I try to start them on my TV, whereas whenever I start them on my PC they basically start instantly.

    I thought originally that this was an issue with H265 and that my TV was perhaps incompatible, however the latest episode I just tried to watch on my TV is an H264 file and I can see in the admin dashboard that the file is compatible with my device and that the client is receiving the file without modifications.

    I saw this other issue here, but I cannot figure out whether this is a similar issue to the one I'm having or not:

    I should mention that both my TV and PC are directly cabled into my local network, and thus should have similar transfer speeds.

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated
