    Of course I know how Jellyfin works to play movie files with Transcoding

    Complete transcoding, this will burden server performance
    if your client is watching more than 100 people or more than that

    I suggest to developers, to be given a choice

    You can play it by transcoding
    or you can play with external vlc


    either admin or client can choose that


    The developer only needs to add an option here to select external VLC software

    by playing the movie via VLC directly
    it will not burden server performance
    movie files on the .mkv server, easily played by vlc
    no need for transcoding


    That's my input to the developer, so that it can be used as evaluation material
    to make this Jellyfin software even better
    Thank You

    This feature request already is possible.

    Platforms that can install VLC should be able to install Jellyfin Media Player (JMP) or MPV Shim. Both JMP and MPV Shim use MPV as the player which works on par with VLC (or if not, possibly better).
    MPV can direct play MKV files and ASS subs too.

    Here are their respective github pages:
