Plex is not playing via "Play" button on some 4K UHD HEVC Main videos on Android player

As stated in title, seems to happen with some 4K UHD videos and not others. I’m pretty consistent in how I encode all of my 4K media–I use the same preset on all in Handbrake. They’re all 3840 (varying heights), 8-bit, 24 frames. I couldn’t find anything glaring in the console, but did attach that along with screenshot.

The video never loads after clicking “Play”. The player shows the loading thumbnail (screenshot), but it never plays. Eventually, the screen on the Pixel 7 I’m playing it on goes to sleep.

I have multiple versions of all my 4K content from disc, the 4K encode and also a 720p encode. When I select “Play Version” and select the 4K version, the 4K version does start playing. Same for the 720p version.
