How to completely disable transcoding on Android TV and Android phone's clients?

[user848]

I found the following options, and they seem to have resolved the stuttering (though I need to test it more):

- Allow audio playback that requires transcoding
- Allow video playback that requires transcoding
- Allow video playback that requires conversion without re-encoding



So, is this enough to fully disable transcoding?

Also, why was the TV client using transcoding? What’s the algorithm behind it? Because it definitely doesn’t need any transcoding.

I set up the Jellyfin server on a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB RAM). Since I don’t need any transcoding for local network streaming, it should work very well. I used to stream 4K + BD Remuxes over DLNA on my 512MB RAM router with an external HDD, and it worked fine, so the Raspberry Pi 5 is even more powerful.

However, I guess if transcoding is enabled, the Raspberry Pi 5 isn’t powerful enough, as I experienced stuttering when transcoding was turned on, correct? I'm just curios even if I don't need transcoding.
