Purpose of Force Transcode in user settings

[jellybro]

Thanks for the reply. I am sure that there is no transcode being attempted as the logs for Jellyfin do not show an attempt to transcode. This is the entire block from Jellyfin 10.9.6 logs. No corresponding transcode logs. I should also mention that the user 'frametv' policy has the transcode remote media ticked on to true.
From what I can tell, it is still trying to direct play.
