So I have no issues with my phone (galaxy s7 with lineageos), but my clients phone (galaxy s10 stock) is having issues with displaying video's on it, it just shows black screen until i change the h.264 codec from javascript to html5, the problem is that the html codec is choppy and doesn't want to play well.

Im wondering if stock android has issues with playing h.264 streams ? The only strange issue is that if I change the stream to html first and then back to javascript and reload, it works but my client doesn't want to do that every time he starts the app.

Did i overlook something in the setup or is it just a device specific issue?
 
I bet your client is using Firefox. Firefox on Android is the only system where UI3 chooses the JavaScript player by default, because the HTML5 player is so bad. This is the first I've heard of the JavaScript player not working until reloaded though. Something else funky is going on with their phone.
