Yeah, I’m not sure what’s going on anymore there. I forced it not to transcode things in user settings, and nothing would play. Then I turned that off, and the 1080p stuff with reasonable file size seems fine. IDK if it’s transcoding or not, Jellyfin is kind of a weird black box.
I think the important thing is to ban those +50GB movie formats what will take forever to transcode.
I wonder how Plex handles this problem. Because jellyfin requires everything to be in a limited set of formats so the streaming works well. Does Plex not do that too?
Yeah, I know where the setting is. I was saying it can’t find anything using just webdl 720/1080.
I’ll see if hdtv and blueray go through without transcoding, though.
edit: nope hdtv needs it
Strange. I dont need any transcoding with those formats and I’m using jellyfin too. Maybe my jellyfin instance is able to support more codecs somehow?
Edit: maybe its transcoding and I’m just not noticing it.
