Files did not have subs. I don't do that nonsense unless there is foreign nonsense going on. All subs are SRT. ALL my media is HEVC, level 5.1, encoded with a CRF of 19, regardless of resolution. Audio formats vary between AAC, E-AC3, AC3, DTS (lossy), and >78% are FLAC ranging from mono to 7.1. Any of those tried and failed via the remote client were FLAC. Triggering an audio transcode shouldn't make video transcode. Both bit rates of video and audio added together falling far below the 35 mbps constraint I have set up should not trigger a video transcode. Said client could play 1080p directly just fine (albeit it was AC3). Going to a 4k file with FLAC triggered a transcode (down to 1080p somehow) and their client rejected it. They tried a few, all 4k with FLAC and no subs. Their client was also android-TV, but on a Sony TV. My own client (Shield) was fine with a 1080p transcode. I don't know what redacting certain information from logs even means. I am trying to get away from plex due to bloat, privacy, and constant transcoding issues, and if this piece of software is going to even more problematic, the whole server is just gonna go in the trash. What do you want for server specs? What are you asking about what I have selected in the transcoding section of the dashboard?
