It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. Direct Playback just means that no transcoding is being done due to the client 100% understanding the original file.
If you want to force a transcode, you need to lower the bitrate to be lower than the video's original bitrate.
Also, the capacity of your tablet is irrelevant to streaming with Jellyfin. The client will not be storing the video.
At best, it will only be temporarily storing small chunks at a time for the cache/buffer until you exit the player.
