Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Logcat paste and the attached error image, then reproduce the failure using the reported Cloudstream commit on Android 9, Android 13, or Windows Subsystem for Android. Compare attempts across the three devices and extensions, and consider the issue done when the cause of delayed video startup is identified and playback starts reliably.
