Android TV used to direct play 4K, now transcodes

[MordeKyle 3]

I have a Sony Bravia android TV that has been excellent. I used to watch 4K on it all the time, and now I can't. I'm not sure why that would change. I don't have a good enough graphics card to transcode 4K, never have, yet I used to watch 4K episodes of show and movies all the time. Now, when I try to watch those same exact shows or movies, it's transcoding and stutters really bad and only plays at around 8fps. The Stats for Nerds indicates it's transcoding. I never looked before to see what was going on, because it played the 4K files flawlessly.

Hi there, what does stats for nerds list as the transcoding reason?

Hi.  Can you please test this with the beta version of the app?  I think we may have already addressed this.  Thanks.
