Unable to play .avi files

[Taotaka]

I am using 10.9.9

Installed jellyfin on a omv6 nas with a gtx980
I can play mp4 just fine through browser and android app but not avi in anyway.

The codecs supported by AVI containers are very old and most client devices no longer support playing them directly, so it is likely transcoding due to that. Your MP4 files may have codecs that modern client devices do support, thus no transcoding.

Did you fully setup transcoding? You cannot simply select NVENC from the drop down and call it a day.
