Hi, I am also able to reproduce this issue.
my administrator has disabled trans-coding for my profile and I am able to transcode by changing to config property to true in my Linux MPV Shim config ( ~/.config/jellyfin-mpv-shim/conf.json
)
-codec:v:0 copy -codec:a:0 copy
means Remuxing(video repackage).
mpv shim needs to update the descriptions.

I don’t know that there is much I can do about this. That option drops all of the direct play profiles, but the server can still decide to direct stream if it is in the confines of the bitrate and codec limits.
The actual play method can be obtained from the session. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/blob/e7521162097fdb5b2731510a634339be9a690add/src/components/playback/playmethodhelper.js#L1-L17
Ok so I can more accurately display what happens, but there isn’t anything I can do about the “always transcode” option not actually always transcoding.
Since this option Allow video playback that requires conversion without re-encoding.
is checked, video remux is taking place as expected. The user was misled by "Transcode" description.
Describe the bug
mpv shim was able to transcode a video when it was disabled for that particular user.
