Code:TranscodeReason=ContainerNotSupported, VideoCodecNotSupported
If it was just a remux (only "ContainerNotSupported") your RPi would have no issues handling that.
Oh!, this is a home made DVD, I think it will lasts more than 17 years!

Can I baypass the transcoding?. I'm sure my TV do plays mp2 videos, since I did with ReadyMedia no more than 1 month ago.
EDIT:
I have read the post https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-how-to-disable-transcoding and tried disabling transcoding for all the users (there is only two of them). Since I use DLNA for playing in my TV (it is a Samsung one and there is no Jellyfin app), there is no user loging.
Anyway, I've tried the flathub app in my linux desktop, and still the server tries transcoding.
I've reinstalled ReadiMedia (formerly miniDLNA), that do not try any transcoding, and I am able to play almost any content, mpeg2/ts included, both in my TV and in my desktop using VLC. I've tried VLC in my desktop with Jellyfin as DLNA server with the same "not possible" result.
So I think those who complaint about disabling transcoding be a real option are right.
Said this, Jellyfin is wonderful and sure i will reinstall it when users can actually disable transcoding.
Anyway, many thanks for your patience and time.
