This is a bug, not a question or a configuration issue; Please visit our forum or chat rooms first to troubleshoot with volunteers, before creating a report. The links can be found here.
This issue is not already reported on GitHub(I've searched it).
I'm using an up to date version of Jellyfin Server stable, unstable or master; We generally do not support previous older versions. If possible, please update to the latest version before opening an issue.
This report addresses only a single issue; If you encounter multiple issues, kindly create separate reports for each one.
Description of the bug
Jellyfin always transcodes videos if this is allowed for a user, when playing on chromecast.
Reproduction steps
Add an mkv/mp4+h.264+aac video
Play on Chromecast
What is the current bug behavior?
It always transcodes the video if allowed. If I disable "Allow video playbach that requires transcoding", it will just remux the video instead, poiving it didn't need to transcode it.
What is the expected correct behavior?
Only transcodes if necessary. Plays mkv+h.264+aac via remuxing and mp4+h.264+aac via direct play.
This may be fixed by #663. Can you please check using unstable Cast client?
I had a similar file that was H264 + AAC which was 1080p, but the client would always ask Jellyfin to downscale to 720p. In the logs you provided I can see the input file was 1920x1080 but the output was 1280x720.
