    You can use an external player that works, you can enable audio-only transcoding, or you can re-encode the audio yourself to something like DDP which seems to be compatible.

    Actually I am trying to understand howthe external players can play the media without transcoding but Jellyfin can't. I don't want to use transcoding because I don't have gpu in the Jellyfin server. I also don't want to use an external player since they don't support the external subtitles of Jellyfin.

    - If the problem is the client hardware, how the same tv box client play with an external player app?
    - If the problem is the client software, Jellyfin media player in this case, will it get fixed or is there anything I can do?
