Need help to configure transcoding - Indra - 2025-07-18
Hi All,
I'm nubie on jellyfin so please don't hate me asking stupid question..
1. All my sourve video was stored in AV1, 4K format
2. Users are view the video via web browser, since this a dynamic user, we can't install apk on everyone come and go.
3. Some device unable to play AV1 properly, (it support AV1, but in software decoding, so it will stutter a lot)
4. Is there a way to force HEVC transcoding? I can't do limiting bitrate or bandwith, since AV1 have the lowest bitrate, if I lower the bandwith below that to force encoding to h264/5, the result is hideous.
5. Is there a way to limit resolution to 1440p, the option available only 1080p and 4K, i try to edit encoder.xml with <MaxStreamingResolutionHeight>1440</MaxStreamingResolutionHeight> but it doesn't work.
6. Force transcoding on DLNA is working, but we can't skip or fastforward the video, is there any configuration needed to allow it?
thanks
