Description

Steps to reproduce

high quality audio file decoding issue [ANDROID TV] from past 1-2 months
And that same source/link file audio is working completely fine on [VLC ANDROID TV APP].
And software decoding is also enabled, but I’m still facing the same problem in cloudstream internal player.

Expected behavior

The CloudStream internal player should correctly decode and play high-quality audio files on Android TV, just like VLC does, without any sound loss or decoding errors.

Actual behavior

High-quality audio files fail to decode (vocals in left and background sound in right side and feel like recorded audio) in the CloudStream internal player on Android TV. The same file works perfectly fine in VLC Android TV app. Software decoding is already enabled, but the issue still occurs.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the high-quality audio problem on Android TV using the CloudStream internal player, then compare it with VLC and collect the missing Logcat output. The work is done when the same audio plays with correct channel balance and no decoding errors on the reported Android version.
