I know I was having issues trying to transcode media the server wasn’t able to transcode. I didn’t know it wouldn’t transcode period if device could handle it. I feel like I was always transcoding no matter what but maybe not the case. I certainly would not consider myself an authority on the inner workings of Jellyfin

I see what you’re saying. I don’t really mind doing the transcoding but I’d never looked to turn it off. Maybe it’ll be a feature added at some point.

You may disagree but I’m of the opinion that making an open source version of an app is enough of a reason to warrant it’s creation but to each their own of course. Thanks for sharing your input.

I’ve never used Plex. I’m curious what issues you’ve had with jellyfin that makes you say this. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with it, along with a friend who’s been using it a lot
