Emby transcoding 'direct playing' content.

I have a .STRM file and have disabled transcoding for the user. In the dashboard the content shows up as direct played but it is evident this is not happening because there is massive stutter.

 

I looked in the log files and Emby is still using FFmpeg to transcode it even though it should be direct play.

 

I am using Emby Web Client on Chrome.

Why is it transcoding?  Post your transcode logs.

I've just left the house, but from what I remember it's using the same ffmpeg command it does when not direct playing. I vaguely remember it saying direct playing is supported on the file.

I'll post logs when I get home

Yes let's look at an example. Thanks.
