right, i tried unsetting this flag, but when watching from my phone it would still remux/transcode to mp4... when i got home yesterday i tried from a pc with a i5-6500t, turns out, jellyfin will transcode to ts when watching from this device hevc->h.264, aac lc->aac lc (i dont know why, but it says in the logs or the playback info that the audio was not compatible, yet it converts to the same format the file already has?)
the reason behind wanting ts over mp4 is (and this very well could be outdated/incorrect information) when i was working as a movie theater projectionist, when we got movies with mp4 format, a lot of them had compression artifacts in them, which ruined the watching experience
using .ts or .m2ts file format, there were no artifacts present, yet the file size could still be the same (so compression was still in use), since then i am trying to stay away from mp4 as much as possible, but again since then it could be that mp4 no longer produces compression artifacts, as this was ~10 years ago or so
