The Issue

Ran into more in-app video player issues trying to stream some of CryptoCandors videos. It may be how they are encoded as I haven't seen this happen with other videos. On first stream, sometimes they play fine - but then if you leave the claim and come back after it downloaded, the playback issues are consistent. Maybe it has something to do with the file size - some of these are over 2GB. It's either that or encoding parameters.

On Windows, this crashes the LBRY app to a green/white screen sometimes. You lose the render process:

On Linux/Mac, it just stops playing, and sometimes restarts playback and othertimes you get a blank screen.
