Anyway to force Direct Streaming?

[mark-in-dallas 41]

Is there any way to force Emby to Direct Stream to the LG Client  App instead of Direct Play?  The reason I want to change to direct streaming is because I believe that will make the skip functionality work in Live TV, as it does in other apps that show videos as being direct streamed. I use IPTV and everything is streamed in the .ts format.   I have tried going into the Dlna settings and adding and removing the .ts format from the LG  Smart TV video profiles for Direct Play , Container and Codecs, but that had no effect..

Hi, yes by lowering the in-app quality setting but that would also force a full transcode.

Yeah I found I could do that, but then I'm left with a choice of playing all media at a lower bitrate, or constantly having to change it.  I was hoping to make Emby believe that it needed to swap the container or codec to play on the LG.
