Latest version of server and android TV app. Have 1080p video (tried multiple formats) with 5.1 audio. Whenever I try to play on TV after about 30 seconds, the audio cuts out. Not a bandwidth issue… Seems to have started after recent server update, but not sure since I dont use too often…

Already tried deleting codec directory.

This seems to be a transcoding issue, as i watched closely and when the audio cut out 1 time, the video quality dipped a bit, as if it was making an auto adjustment. The second time it just started playing audio from another scene.

This has happened for a bunch of different videos, so it isnt specific to just one…
