Hi.
I run Jellyfin on a raspberry PI Zereo W2, I know its small and a bit weak.
It can handle transcoding of smaller file (30-40% CPU) but it lock up and kills the Pi Zero W2 if I like starting a 10GB file made for 4K and trying to trying to transcode that.
So Transcoding is a dead end.
If I setup a SMB and play files using VLC on my phone it works great , even with the 10GB 4K movie.
Now to my question:
Is it possible to use the Jellyfin APP for the mobile to browse the files and then start playing but do this over SMB and without transcoding. Would be a really great feature, I don't think any other media servers have that solution?!
Anyone know of a media player that can do that if not Jellyfin can?
