    If only the container was an issue, you would have a direct stream which doesn’t impact quality, it just repacks it in a container that is compatible with the client.

    You can see the transcode reason on the dashboard by clicking on the i symbol. Start playback on android TV, open jellyfin on your phone and you should see the transcode reason.

      Subtitle codec is not supported.

      I think they’re in ASS format, according to the subtitle selection menu, embedded in the mkv file.

      Is there no way to convert that to something that is supported?

      It doesn’t help that this is Across the Spider Verse, so it’s not exactly what most video codecs are expecting. The playback quality with no subs is light-years ahead of the transcoded version.
