Playback error on every platform

Nvidia Shield is a Thick Player. It accepts a DirectPlay stream and does all the work. This is true of other devices like Amazon and some Phones.

I have asked for the new FFMPEG and Plex/web because:

  1. FFMPEG will be the new baseline very shortly.
    – It is based on PMS 1.41.8.
  2. Plex/web is the simplest player available. PMS & FFMPEG must do all the work. ANY errors are immediately visible. There is nothing else to complicate the diagnosis.

At the moment, in this thread, Watch History is not part of the discussion. Please hold that until the Playback issue is resolved.
