SOLVED: Still using 10.8.9

[finicky6457]

I tried putting one of my MPEG2 test videos in TS (originally in MKV) and it still direct played on my 4800X.

Can you install the playback reporting plugin on 10.10 and replicate the issue with your TS files?  That plugin should print out why it is being transcoded.

Or you can have the Dashboard open on your PC and click on the "i" icon for the Roku playback and it should tell you why it is being transcoded.

Ok, I think this may help show what's going on....

Jellyfin 10.8.9

Code:

Remuxing
The media is in an incompatible file container (MKV, AVI, WMV, etc) but both the video stream and audio stream are compatible with the device. The media will be repackaged losslessly on the fly before being sent to the device.


Remux uses very little processing power with a completely lossless media quality.

Jellyfin 10.10.0

Code:

Transcoding
The media is being converted into a format that is compatible with the device that is playing the media.
Framerate: 28fps

9.5 Mbps TS HEVC AC3


Reason for transcoding:
The container is not supported
