Or you could allow transcoding if your hardware supports it. Allowing remuxing (changing containers without re-encoding) uses almost not CPU power.
What are your hardware specs?
Working on an upgrade, I'm the guy with the 4790k using VAAPI.
I had the issue where a TrueHD codec was causing me a dropped frame every 6 seconds or so. Tried another video with TrueHD and it didn't happen as often. I'm just getting some oddities whenever there's a transcode required, even one that's just a container / audio format one.
I think the remuxing was working fine, just much prefer to get a direct play when I can. I think I have a lot of MKV files, those will always cause a transcode? Might not be a problem like the audio ones were.
