Direct Play fails after 20-40 sec, falls back to transcode, fails

Trying to watch the TV show "Severence" both locally ("Scott" account) and remotely ("Kate" account). On the remote account I am told it stops playing after 20 or 40 seconds. When I tested with my local admin account it initially seemed to play fine as direct play, but then failed and started to transcode it:

On my local account it appeared to continue to work when transcoding. However remotely it did not.

Hi, I would suggest having them lower the in app quality setting. This is usually a sign that the bitrate is too high for the connection.

That may be a solution for the stop at 20 sec for the remote person. But why has this particular video caused a problem for a local player? It started as Direct Play but then failed after some seconds?

Hi.  Can you please play that item for a few seconds and then follow the instructions to send a log from the app?

By "app" do you mean the server? I don't see any instructions there for pulling logs from the Android app on my phone.

I tested again and captured two screenshots off the issue:

Sorry, I thought you were using the TV app.  For the mobile app, log instructions are here:

According to the log file location given in those instructions I do not have any logs that are even from 2022. It would seem that location may be out of date or wrong for my Android.

Hi, We're going to be putting out a 4.7.1 maintenance release shortly, so please let us know if that helps with this. Thanks.

Is this only with certain files?

It appears to just be the Severence episode I have downloaded that has this issue.
