HEVC Videos not working in the Android App

Usage📱Mobile❓Question
im using GCAM (Google Camera) to record Videos on my phone and i can play them back fine in Google Photos App but i cant play them in the Immich App. They are uploaded to my immich instance through the app.
In the Browser it plays back the h264 transcoded version from the server, im guessing it will always try to play the original file in the app, as long as its not deleted on the phone?

is there anything i can do like moving the files to a different location so immich will at least play the h264 version from the server? i would really like to watch all of my videos in the immich app so i could stop using the google photos app.

im using android 11 (SoC is a Snapdragon 855), immich version is 2.3.1
