What's the point of transcoding for local serving?
If the client can’t play the codec because of some limitations, you are required to transcode. You can, of course config *arr services to pick only wanted codec, or skip "bad" codecs
Interesting. I think ccwgtv can read h264 and h265, I guess av1 would be a "bad" codec then?
It depends on device, my apple tv on my TV screen has sometimes problems with specific audio channels as well as with some 4k HEVC HDR files. Most it is performance of the device running the client, or it can also be some licensing stuff. On Apple TV, jellyfin uses the the video player provided from apple, I assume, at least in plex it is like that. This comes with the limitation, that some codecs are supported by apple.
