Description of the bug

After upgrading to version 9.3.70 of Jellyfin for Xbox, I get an error where MPEG2 encoded video files have a random error during playback and begin transcoding to h264.

Reproduction steps

  1. Open the Jellyfin for Xbox client and log in.

  2. Attempt to play a MPEG2 encoded video file.

  3. Check playback info and see that the video is transcoding and under "reason for transcoding" it says "there was an error starting direct playback"

What is the current bug behavior?

MPEG2 videos start transcoding

What is the expected correct behavior?

MPEG2 videos start direct playback

Jellyfin for Xbox version

0.9.0+
