H265 videos are choppy with Force Direct Play enabled on iPad Mini 4 (2019) #755

Describe the bug

On my iPad Mini 4 (2019) // iOS 15.7.5 // Swiftfin 1.0.1, nothing plays, not even H264 videos. However, after enabling "Force Direct Play," everything plays. H264 plays quite smoothly. H265 videos, however, are choppy, with the audio playing smoothly but the video lagging.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Try to play H264, H265, and VP9 videos. They do not play.
  2. Enable "Force Direct Play"
  3. Try to play H264 video. Plays smoothly.
  4. Try to play H265 video. Is choppy when played.
  5. Try to play VP9 video. Plays smoothly.
  6. Enable "fMP4 with HLS"
  7. All videos play the same as steps 3-5
  8. Disable "Force Direct Play" and only enable "fMP4 with HLS"
  9. No videos play.

I do not have this problem on iPhone 11 // iOS 16.3.1 // Swiftfin 1.0.1 or on my iPad (5th gen.) // iOS 15.5 // Swiftfin 1.0.1. I do not have to enable "Force Direct Play" or "fMP4 with HLS" on either of these devices.

Is this perhaps just a limitation of my iPad Mini 4?
