I have a debug log. Lots of:
"Jellyfin.Api.Auth.CustomAuthenticationHandler: AuthenticationScheme: "CustomAuthentication" was successfully authenticated."
When I find the section where I press play on a video, I see:
"isEligibleForDirectPlay: True, isEligibleForDirectStream: False"
and a bit further down it does say PlayMethod is DirectPlay. Then there's a mix of the CustomAuthentication" messages and:
"MediaBrowser.MediaEncoding.Transcoding.TranscodeManager: PingTranscodingJob PlaySessionId="IRedactedThis" isUsedPaused: False"
over and over until I press stop.
Does that mean it thinks it's direct playing but also think it needs to transcode, and therefore waiting for transcoding that will never happen?
