SOLVED: Video Transcoding Issues with Jellyfin on Older Intel NUC

[g35011]

Hello everyone,

I'm dealing with an issue with my media setup. I've got Jellyfin running in a Docker container on an older Intel NUC, and I'm trying to avoid transcoding as even with hardware acceleration, it seems my NUC can't keep up. I'm facing problems with my H.264 video files getting transcoded when I stream them to my LG C1 (WebOS). The problem is even worse when streaming to my Android phone, as it causes the app to crash.
Here's the video info (Just to clarify, only the video is being converted; subtitles are external, and the audio is being played 'direct'):
