New to this world - What else should I do - Roguiber - 2024-02-19
Hi,
I just finished installing jellyfish and I use it to watch content from my PC (I5+ gtx1600) to my LG C2 and it its working correctly.
I usually watch remux DTS content.
As I understand it, there is no transcoding happening, correct?
Are there any setting I need to configure to maximize image and sound quality? Any additional configurations you think are good for this set-up

Direct playing is the best its going to get. Jellyfin can't "enhance" video. Setup NVENC transcoding to maximize quality and speed when you do have to transcode.

When would I have to transcode?
Direct playing is the default option for the app, correct?

The client you are using will decide if it needs the server to transcode video if the original video codec is not supported by that clients hardware/software. If the codec is supported as is, the video will be streamed without modification.
