2 years ago I think the default FFMPEG AnalyzeDuration was increased for 10.8 - there is at least one issue opened in the main repo for it - sorry don't have it off-hand....

2 years ago Thank you. Would prefer getting direct play working again with 10.8 which is my 'main' issue.

2 years ago Following this https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/3930 made it so that a live stream starts <5 seconds form 15+ seconds. But Direct play still does not work. The closest I get is "Remux uses very little processing power with a completely lossless media quality." Where I had directplay. Also tried setting up a RAM disk for the transcode and FFMPEG to see if I can get the stream going faster. No noticeable difference in performance; ie lag between play and actually seeing live TV.

2 years ago I found this issue searching all of the Jellyfin org for DirectPlayError. I'm seeing similar behaviour, but with the WebOS client and with the web browser on WebOS. So I don't believe this is an Android specific problem.
In my case I'm attempting to watch LiveTV, but through the M3U tuner, not TVHeadEnd. But I have pretty much exactly the same behaviour. I try to play a LiveTV stream. After a minute or more, the video finally appears. Checking the media info, I can the video is re-muxing. When I check the logs, I see the following.

But then at 22:04:22, well over a minute later, I see a new request to play the file, this time with ( PlayMethod=Transcode, TranscodeReason=DirectPlayError )
I suspect the log file in the original post is missing this first attempt to DirectPlay the stream. But still, the same problem is reported, the stream takes ages to start, and when it does, we can see DirectPlayError when ultimately running the stream is then redirected through ffmpeg.
I don't have the same problem when playing the stream through jellyfin-web on my laptop, but that seems to be because it never attempts to DirectPlay in the first place.
Given I don't think this is an Android client specific problem, I could create a new ticket elsewhere, but suspect this one should instead be moved to avoid duplication - is that possible?

Describe the bug
Upgraded to 10.8.3 had long delays before live TV would appear on end client. Ended up reverting back to 10.7.x. Did a fresh install on a second machine issue still existed. The delays happened both on Nvidea Shield and FireStick. On or off local LAN.
This weekend Nvidia Shield stopped working stating that the client was updated and required 10.8. Although stream does finally start it takes a long time to begin.
Installed on Windows 10, SSD HD, 16GB RAM, No hardware acceleration. SiliconDust CableCard.
No choice but to run 10.8 did some TS. Get this error: There was an error starting direct playback.
No combination will get rid of this error and long delays.
Recorded Live TV. Will Direct Stream without an issue and will play within +-4seconds.
Same issue with current unstable version.
