Well sure, I meant disabling transcoding and having it play anything. And it's not about overhead, it's just that I want to decide what my hardware does - I don't want transcoding at all, ever, never ever. Not even when I'm using mobile data. The problem was always that jellyfin simply can't play files which any player can play. I understand I didn't really say what the issue was, sort of thought playing media files should be the bar
Please open an bug ticket!
I've used Jellyfin for years and not had any issues with playback, let alone every single video file.
Additionally, I've been a programmer on the Roku client for over a year and again, never heard of someone having an issue playing every single video.
Not every single one, just the ones I tried. My tv can play anything using videolan or nova player, or anything else for that matter. I have to install jellyfin again, will do. It's been very strange for me, with people praising jelly when it just never worked for me. And I avoided plex like the plague, but for some reason it works. Anyway, will check and file.
edit:
I realized what the issue is - it's another thing I'd call a bug. If you disable transcoding and want subtitles this thing just hangs there. So how do I file this? Enabling normal subtitles without a black box behind them actually requires transcoding. And if you have a combo of settings which jellyfin will happily let you choose it will simply fail silently.
