Ekos/INDI not able to load uncompressed RAW file from Sony A7rii

Hello all:

I have done some searching on this topic and usually when I’ve seen this question raised it’s typically associated with Sony cameras and getting stuck at the “downloading” phase. I am using INDI library 1.9.2 on Astroberry, and using a Sony a7rII. When I load previous in JPG formats of all resolution using the “Sony DSLR” driver, it is able to load the preview image successfully. The same occurs for compressed RAW file formats. However, when trying to do the same using an uncompressed RAW (~81mb file), the process files during downloading and starts an endless loop of downloading and starting the image which never completes. This appears to be some kind of timeout issue since it’s successful using the smaller file sizes.

Are there any workarounds or configurations I can try? Would appreciate any input. 

Link to the verbose logs, where I first tested loading a compressed raw file preview, which succeeded, then tried an uncompressed raw file preview, which failed:
