Description
It appears from this users' logs that even though the play request came from the Kodi app on the TV, we still treated it as if it was the TV's native DLNA handling, which led to a supported file format mixup https://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12914

Research direction
Start with the users' logs and the linked forum report to reproduce the supported-file-format mixup. Trace how requests from the Kodi app on a TV are distinguished from the TV's native DLNA handling, then verify that each path uses the correct format behavior. The issue is complete when the two request sources are differentiated and the reported case no longer misclassifies the request.
