how can I do that? which options?

If, as you say, the client device supports basically any format, like an Nvidia Shield, then jellyfin will avoid transcoding where it can. There's no need to really make any adjustments. As long as your network is fast enough, and your client supports the encoded formats, jellyfin will avoid transcoding the file by default. If jellyfin is transcoding, it's because the client does not, in fact, support the encoding for one reason or another.a specific case - I do not have a powerful server and one day when I was watching a movie, the video suddenly stopped and it turned out that the server ran out of space on the ssd where the transcoding folder is located.
another time I was watching a movie and the video was freezing.
not to explain for a long time, I want to completely disable the transcoding function and use Jelly just as a library.

All I want is just to disable this feature. I understand that the authors took care of the users and that's great, but I just want to turn it off.
