    Why is JF Transcoding?

    Client can direct stream, so why transcoding?

    Jellyfin also logs why it transcodes.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I have transcode to HEVC selected.
    However I didn't think it should be transcoding at all.

    I modified the Jellyfin client on my phone to use the Integrated Player instead of the Web Player. That has helped, and now it shows Direct Play.

    I am still confused as to why the client provoked a transcode on a file which it could Direct Stream through.
