I’m wondering, is there some way to tell Jellyfin to just transcode or reencode all my media for a particular client? And have that stored and used? I’m just thinking that each clients have different support and it’s not always possible to get all the stars aligned, but jellyfin knows when a transcode is needed based on the client profile.

I guess I can do with hand break or something, but yeah… Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Jellyfin has no support for creating transcodes in advance. If you do use handbrake to create another version, jellyfin supports having multiple versions of an item, and you will see a dropdown selector for which to play similar to how you can choose an audio track.

      Afaik multiple item merging is only automatic for movies at the moment. Support for merging of show episodes is still WIP. (There’s a PR on Github)

      I tried to do this changing DTS to aas 5.1, but it seems to pretty stereo on the Roku. It’s this bit supported?

      On my phone I see it listed as 6 track aas.
