Jellyfin-android: Since 2.0.0 rc-2 videos don't play through the app

[tuxrinku]

When using the rc-1, I have no problems playing all the videos on my server, but I tried rc-2/3/4/5 and videos don't play anymore, I just have a black screen.

To Reproduce

1. Launch the app
2. Play any videos from the jellyfin server

Expected behavior
Video starts without any problems

System (please complete the following information):

• App version: 2.0.0-rc.2
• Android version: 8.1
• Device manufacturer and model: ZTE Axon 7
• Jellyfin server version: 10.6.4
• The type of video player implementation used: web

It does work with the native player option tho

The initial release candidate had the native player enabled by default. I think this is why it didn't work for you since the second release candidate, where we disabled it by default.

Same problem on my Samsung SM-A300H with Android 7. On my Moto G7 Power with Android 10 i can play videos without issues. Here is my logcat from my Samsung SM-A300H running Release 2.0.0-rc.5. Server address has changed to my.server

I just had to set the player to native in the app settings. Maybe it would be better to enable the native player as default option ? That would avoid people thinking it doesn't work at all. Great work anyway !

It's not enabled by default because it's still experimental and needs some work before we consider it stable.
