First a disclaimer - while I've made a couple contributions to Jellyfin, I'm not a strong Brighterscript developer and haven't worked on the Jellyfin server itself, so take my feedback for what it is - a best effort.
What I'm seeing is that the Trickplay we are getting when transcoding/remuxing is the Roku device itself presenting the Trickplay images when they are available. There is code in the Jellyfin Server to provide the Trickplay images, but nothing specific in the Jellyfin Roku app to present them. I believe that coding changes would be needed in the Jellyfin Roku client for Trickplay to work for Direct Play.
Anyone able to confirm or refute this? Should I open an issue on the Jellyfin Roku github project regarding the need for the Jellyfin Roku client to present Trickplay images for direct play?
