    I am pretty sure that strms, unlike IPTV, will always go through the server.

    Transcoding happens because the client needs it for some reason. The only way to ensure they can both play content while not transcoding is to use a capable client like Jellyfin Media Player on a PC.

    The other way to ensure direct play is to only have highly compatible media. 1080P or less, H264 main, AAC stereo, SRT subs.
    Jellyfin 10.10.7 (Docker)
    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS w/HWE
    Intel i3 12100
    Intel Arc A380
    OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
    Storage
        4x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1
