As far as turning off transcoding, I was mistaken I turned off hardware acceleration as I wasn't 100% it was supported and couldn't determine the mode to use.
You could try changing your transcode location to /dev/shm
that's RAM only. but its dependent on the size of your RAM, and allocation in /dev/shm
I wonder though why disabling transcoding isn't working for you. I have disabled transcoding, and in my library settings ensured only embedded TEXT subtitles get read. That makes sure the server ignores other embedded subtitles formats which i find are the main cause of mysterious transcodes
That way if the file is not compatible with the player. rather than trigger a transcode, playback fails.
If you are going to to be stuck with using a Pi, i'm afraid the best case scenario for you will be to direct play only. Its just not a great experience transcoding with a a Pi/SD Card etc
