These videos do not play via Yaste with VLC or any other player but they play nicely with VLC if streaming over SMB. With Yatse, all I see is a black screen on vlc. Sometimes, they play but without any audio. They also have no issues playing with official emby app. I have two android devices and face same issue on both. I have emailed you the log file with a link to this topic. H.264 videos play fine with Yatse. ---

You have not enabled all the audio codecs in the settings, so there’s transcoding. And it seems the transcoded content is not compatible with VLC. Not much I can do, update your settings to stop transcoding. You should also select VLC as the player in the settings to optimize for it. ---

Enabling all codes does make video play with audio but there is another issue now. These high bitrate videos buffer a lot over both local and remote connections but do not if playing through official emby app. I have selected VLC in the settings. I have wifi 6 router and 5g on mobile. Hence, playback over official emby app is very smooth with near instantaneous seek. With Yatse however, there is a lot of buffering. ---

Then configure a max wifi bitrate in the settings 🙂 ---

Bitrate was already set to original for all (I changed after sending you logs). However, now video plays smoothly, don’t know why. Further, I tried changing bitrate to 2mbps for all and playback is still smooth for a 70mbps file. I always had transcoding disabled from Emby server.
