SOLVED: Hardware Transcoding on N5105 & TMDB Trailers not playing nvidia shield

[TheDreadPirate]

1)  Check if the video is using Dolby Vision 7.  That DV profile is not supported by anything other than bluray players.

It is, thats why its that color.  But I am able to get it to transcode on the browser and phone, but the android TV won't transcode.  Anyway I can force it to?  I mean technically the Shield can handle it, but the TV cannot.  I think Its a dead end because of that, and not necessarily a Jellyfin thing, although Jelly could probably fix it, if it were a priority lol.

2)  A lot of those kinds of plugins don't work on Android TV.  That also includes plugins like intro skipper and jellyscrub.

Ah, yea, ok, I was thinking that, I am running into a lot of plugins that are giving me that issue....  Is there a better/more recommended client sided app/OS that I could use that could take advantage of Jellyfins plugin features?

1)  Lower the bit rate on the client side until it triggers a transcode.  Jank work around, but its something.

2)  For Android TV I'm not aware of any other way to access Jellyfin except for the official client, with the limitations already stated.  I don't recall seeing a way to use a browser in my CCwGTV.  If the shield has the ability use a browser maybe you can try the web client?
