Server is Direct Playing to Android for Live TV even unless bitrate set to 420kbps

[lolento 1]

(Let me know if this is the wrong section to post this)

 

I'm having Live TV playback problem on Android app (seems to be recently).

 

I can play Live TV (hdhr) through browser fine.

 

However, on Android, Live TV seems to want to direct play unless the playback bitrate is set to less than 420kbps.  (Eventhough the Direct Play bitrate is huge...)

 

Let me know how I can help.

What device is this on?

[lolento 1]

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Oreo)

 

I have a Shield Tablet and a Fire HD 10 that I could try this on as well.

The shield tablet would be a helpful test, thanks.

Ok, will report back when I get home in 5-6 hours.

btw, the transcode that happens in browser is triggered by codec support not bitrate
