False-positive "Media cannot be played by this device"

[NixyJuppie]

Describe the bug

When I try to play video in an external player (VLC) a popup appears saying "Media cannot be played by this device", VLC is not even launched. If I copy the stream link of the movie into VLC, the movie works without a problem. The error occurs only with some videos, I have transcoding disabled on the server.
