EMBY starts transcoding, PLEX doesn't

Hi,

Playing a 4K video file wired on local LAN in same browser, I noticed that Emby think it needs to transcode the file. Plex streams the file without transcoding. Plex/Emby running on same server.  Network is full 1GB, no problems here

Specs of video file below.

Is this normal?
Can I avoid that Emby transcodes those files on local network if not needed?

 

kind regards,

Bart Plessers

Post ffmpeg log created for that session, wild guess would be Level 5.2 on AVC 4K encode.
