    I have jellyfin set up on a mini pc and it generally works great.  I just ran into an odd problem with a very old tv show that's in 480p, h264 mpeg and AVC1 according to VLC's info.   
    I have two TV's one, a Google tv,  the files play fine but on a roku tv I get audio with no video output unless I check "force transcoding" in the client's list of Options.   Then it works fine on that tv too.   Is there any way to set Jellyfin to force transcoding or is this just a codec problem with the roku tv?
    Both Plex and Nova player play the same videos fine on the Roku. Nova player uses a connected chromecast device.
