Second question, why is it transcoding? 

Hi, did you explore the stats feature in the video player to learn why it was transcoding?

I did.  It doesnt say why, as much as that it is...

Recovering from playback error. So that means it tried to direct play, but the Chrome video player reported a problem with the file and so the Emby app automatically switched to transcoding to ensure successful playback.

OK. But why is that happening every time I play?

There's something about the files that the browser doesn't like. I wish i could provide more detail but it doesn't give us any reasons. Have you tried MS Edge for comparison purposes?

I haven't.  Tomorrow I'll run it on edge, I can also try one ore two of the apps.

Sorry it took so long.

Edge from the same computer.. same failure
Emby Windows Store App - Works fine (same machine as edge and chrome)
Android app works fine (both from a android TV and a phone)

Under edge and chrome, its transcoding audio and video.  Under the Windows store app (transcode auto not video)

On my phone (Samsung S22 Ultra) no transcoding is going on.

It looks like the problem is with the video transcoding.
