There are check boxes on the first page for each user to allow transcoding or not. This has to be done for each user. Note, if the client CANNOT direct play it will just fail on their end or if their client tries anyway it will probably be stuttery.
Hmmm, just figured out something new. If I use a direct link from Kodi it plays, which means Kodi has built in compatibility. If I use the Kodi Jellyfin addon it is acting as if Kodi does not have compatibility for that stream, so then it tries to transcode. So basically Jellyfin is automatically attempting to transcode this type stream where the device has compatibility or not.
Either way, Jellyfin is not suppose to be transcoding regardless.
Do you know of a way to see the container type for the stream? mp4,mkv,etc
Is there some video player app you know of that gives that kind of information?
Just to clarify, Jellyfin does not try to transcode all "Live" streams. For some reason there is a certain type of stream Jellyfin is trying to transcode, where the device has compatibility or not. Also Jellyfin should not be transcoding where the device is compatible or not.
