    Why is Jellyfin trying to transcode this file?

    I had no idea that was just listed right under the device in the dashboard. It tells me that transcoding is happening because of a bandwidth limit. I have no restriction set and am on network at home. My home upload is 40mb. Would this imply that the file is simply too big to be streamed to the Chromecast for whatever reason? Works perfectly fine on my phone (on and off network via Tailscale) and computer.

    My bad, I meant bitrate, I don't see a way to edit a post. Bitrate exceeds the limit which I'm assuming is the same thing. I've tried some other files as well, about 1Gb in total and it's still having to transcode. The Breaking Bad (original file) is about 6Gb. Is there anything to do for this?
