The closest you can get is by looking at both ffmpeg logs and playing spot the difference.
Definitely fair enough. I just was hoping to minimize CPU load for transcodes if possible. In Plex I set option for "prefer faster transcodes" over prefer higher quality. I tried setting the flag for the encoder in jellyfin to super fast thinking it was that, but no major success.
Is there a way to find the actual ffmpeg command from Plex that you're aware of? I had the same thought but unfortunately the logs don't show all the options I don't think.
Thanks again though, I appreciate the input.
