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?
