For instance, when it is run with the following code & service script, It will play a 1080 file but not a 4K file. If I run the python outside of systemd script, it will play a 1080 & 4k file just fine. Try it out with the following & let me know if you can figure it out. I greatly appreciate any & all help. Thanks!
EDITED: Rémi pointed me in the right direction for the dbus issue, but the bigger issue is the lack of 4K when using systemd now. Thanks Rémi!!! I've added more Environment= to the service file, but still no luck as of yet.
EDIT: ADDED VLC LOG TO REPLY
