Anyone know of a media player that can do that if not Jellyfin can?
simple answer, no the jellyfin android app will not do this, even if it passes to VLC via external player then VLC would need credentials to the SMB which are not passed to it
if the jellyfin app is requesting transcoding it means your device is not compatible so any means to override are likely to result in bad playback
Kodi might be the only client that would allow you to "force" this sort of behavior but good luck using Kodi on a Phone or any touch interface device and it might not play properly either
you really should have heeded the advice on the hardware selection page to "not install onto a raspberry pi" https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...-selection
