I'm writing a channel plugin which fetches links to HLS streams from external source. What is the right way to tell MBS that this an HLS stream when creating ChannelMediaInfo object? My goal is to avoid transcoding HLS streams when playing on devices which support HLS. I have tried this: new ChannelMediaInfo{ Path = "http://example.com/hls_streams/test.m3u8", Container = "mpegts", AudioCodec = "aac", VideoCodec = "h264", Protocol = MediaProtocol.Http, SupportsDirectPlay = true } but the stream is still transcoded when trying to play on Android (which supports HLS). I have written similar channel plugin for the Plex and it plays without transcoding on Android, but in Plex I can specify protocol=hls explicitly from plugin.
