    whatever client you're playing back on tells the server what it can support (video codec / video resolution / audio codec), if the client reports that the device it's on can't play back the content "direct" then the server will transcode on the fly; this is always 'downward' (4K->1080p for example) and never 'upward (1080p->4K).
