Perhaps you should update both your server (to 10.8.13) and the app (to 0.16.7) first.

I have upgraded jellyfin's TV client to version 0.16.7, mobile client to version 2.6.0, and docker to 10.8.13. However, when playing the same movie in strm format, the computer browser can decode it normally and very smoothly, while the mobile client needs to load for a long time before it can play normally (you need to select the web player in jellyfin's (you need to select the web player from the video player set by jellyfin, and occasionally you need to switch to the integrated player). But in TV client, all strm files can't be played, it prompts soure error, or "Playback error occurred".

Thanks for confirming the issue on the latest versions. From those logs it looks like the problem is in the server (the ffprobe appears to fail) so not much I can do about it on the client side.

Recently, I installed the latest versions of emby and jellyfin on the same device, with system privileges and hardware decoding enabled on both servers. I found that when playing Strm files, emby's web and Android TV apps worked fine; The jellyfin web side played fine, but the TV side didn't. I think the web browser can play the same jellyfin server properly, but the TV side can't, so there is still room for upgrading the TV side.
