It wouldn't happen to be because they know that the server isn't always going to run on a beast system? Like I said, this would probably run on a Pi and would be a cool little server setup for a media server. You need to take your fanboy rose colored glasses off and see that it's an actual issue. It is a deficiency in the way the software works. If they want to force you to transcode then don't have the setting to disable it.
1. not pi, the fact you think pi is viable only amplifies my post
2. sure maybe a problem, "for people in 2nd and 3rd world countries"
3. if you don't like it you know where the code is, go change it
4. hardware recommendations were outlined for you but you chose to ignore them https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...-selection
5. not following recommendations and catching an attitude is how you got yourself in this situation in the first place

Number two, I can not control what format a "Live Stream" is in. All of my local media is compatible with directplay(or at least that I'm aware of and if it wasn't that is on me). The only option is basically not use "Live Streaming". That knocks off half of the use of the server. So what now, use multiple apps or just use some other single app solution like Kodi? If that's the case, then why the hell even use Jellyfin?
1. if you know what the live stream is then buy accordingly
2. i do use kodi so i don't know what you're talking about, kodi is the best "client" which supports everything, having a centralized library in jellyfin is convenience
- jellyfin does for kodi what you would have to use SMB/NFS+MySQL for while having centralized scraping and library management
- without the LAN limitations of SMB/NFS not to mention the speed improvements an HTTP streaming platform provides
- and kodi sucks on mobile so the same movie you were watching on Kodi you can finish on your "fully capable" tablet during your commute
3. iptv is so 10 years ago, on-demand streaming is the way to go these days, my jellyfin server serves as a replacement for Netflix+Hulu+Prime
enjoy your low end devices and best of luck, you are now in my ignore bin
