Transcoding not working with Swiftfin, even though it is fine on other devices #715

Describe the bug

Transcoding seems to not work properly on my Apple TV. When I try to play a video that requires transcoding the video player appears but just keeps loading indefinitely and never actually plays the video.

Direct play works fine. Transcoding works fine on all other clients I've tested, even Infuse on the same Apple TV. I have tried the "use fmp4 with HLS" and "use native player" settings but they made no difference. For some reason I was able to play the files I tested with when using the "force direct play" option, but it was not usable for one of the movies since it selected Vietnamese subtitles and there was no way to change it.

I have attached the relevant log files. If there is a way to get logs from swiftfin and not just from the server, please let me know and I will get those as well.
