It’s a really nice app, I like the fact that it uses mpv, but you cannot pick the stream quality in this app? I always avoid re-encoding (picking different stream quality from jellyfin) but I noticed that it’s missing in Findroid.
This is because it doesnt support transcoding. It does direct streams only.
Yeah, and I am questioning, why is that the case. Because client apps are not doing the transcoding, server is.
The client sets up its transcoding profile (like what it supports for direct play, etc for auto transcoding) or the client has to specifically request a different quality. Findroid has had PRs for the second one and I did one of them updating based off the older PRs.
Yeah I only just noticed this too. I believe that’s the case.
Not sure if it made it into this release or not, but transitioning support is in the bleeding version, so this won’t be the case for long
