Your phone resolution is 1080p-ish and the video from the transcode is 4k. A similar problem happens for people with older non-Android TV 1080P Chromecasts and the transcode output is 4K.
In the app, the web player is the integrated one.. That the thing. Otherwise I have Exoplayer (deprecated), and external.
The playback settings used in the app are 1080p already, however, like you see in the screenshot, the transcoding is still operating at a higher resolution. So maybe like you said, it's a scaling issue from the integrated player, but also a server problem : it doesn't apply playback settings for the device I'm using.
If I use external (vlc) it doesn't transcode and don't work very well depending of the x265 file & this doesn't resolve the main issue with the default player.
