IPTV, HEVC Settings

[TheDreadPirate]

The client only directly connects to the IPTV source is the client doesn't require transcoding or remuxing of the IPTV stream.  When you play it, the dashboard should indicate the playback method.  And the client can also display the playback method.

Here is an example when I use my browser to watch this live TV stream.  It requires remuxing, which means that the client (browser) connects to the server while the server connects to the IPTV source.

   

When I watch the same stream via Jellyfin Media Player it is direct playing.  Netstat confirms it is going directly to the IPTV provider.
