Bit if a weird one.
Using the android jellyfin app on a Chromecast 4k watching big remux like LOTR, all on local network. Server has nvenc encoding on a GPU for when watching away from home on phones and such.
The bitrate choices make some very weird things happen, AUTO cuts it right down to 15mbits and of course that's a bit drop from original. So I select 120mbits and it changes to 50mbits transcoding - reason audio not compatible (I only have standard stereo speakers at the moment sadly) but I don't see why it is transcoding video when audio is the issue. If I drop the player from 120mbits to 100mbits then it becomes direct streaming so the video is direct and only audio is transcoded. Why would it so this on 100mbit and not 120?
