I can't speak for Kodi or DLNA. But we would need to know more about the video itself. Like what codec the video and audio is using.
One of the most difficult aspects of Jellyfin clients are device profiles. What the device can and can't play. Or how the client interprets the device profile and gets it wrong. Resulting in this kind of situation where it transcodes unnecessarily.
Having said that. Is there a reason you're avoiding transcoding? Does your hardware not perform well enough to transcode? No GPU? Do you have an AMD GPU and the transcode quality is garbage?
