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.

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.

Not sure, to get surround working it needs to be supported on the particular client.

If it's not, you can still select the track, it'll just be downmixed to stereo.

Ok I found the information here https://developer.roku.com/docs/specs/media/streaming-specifications.md

Looks like aac (which is what I meant) is capped to 2.0. let me see if I can do ac3 or some other output format.

Yeah, I guess I'm just not sure how to really understand what transcoding is supported... Maybe I should try pcm lol.
