It’s a hammer in search of nails. If you don’t want transcoding it simply doesn’t work. It’s nice that it exists and works for some people, but I despise ‘solutions’ that have no reason to exist except the devs needing an excuse to do thins they like. If jellyfin had a normal, regular, honest and simple option to just turn off transcoding I’d probably switch to it (even if the library scan process takes days instead of seconds). I don’t want to transcode anything ever, I use things in my lan, my devices can play all of the formats in my librabry - this is like archiving and unpacking every single file I move around on my pc.
Now plex is not opensource freeware nice things - it does what I tell it to do. That’s about it
The worst part about this is the thick as shit stupid tony countries who will have their citizens robbed even worse by their own small thick shitty governments. This is the age of fucking stupidity
