Android app forces software decoding on AV1 (Direct Play issue)
I set up Jellyfin yesterday and it works great, but I ran into an issue.
Even if I set the preferred transcoding codec to HEVC on my Samsung device and set the bitrate to auto (or higher than original), it still uses Direct Play.
This is problematic because some of my videos are AV1, and my phone only supports software decoding for this codec. It plays fine, but it heavily drains the battery.
How can I force the server to transcode AV1 to HEVC/H.264 instead of using Direct Play on this device?
