Why are .ISO files listed?

One of my users complained that he was unable to stream his media, the problem? The media was an .ISO image of a BluRay disc.

.ISO files are image-copies of discs (CD/DVD/BluRay) and are not really a streaming format per-say.

The user also tested the Emby player for Windows and on Firestick and neither could play the .ISO image.

Since it doesn't work out of the box, does it make sense to list the .ISO extension media by default? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a setting (default off) that enables this support for the rare edge cases people may want it for?

Hi, it is a carryover from long ago when they were used more heavily. Nowadays, yes, it probably makes sense to disable by default.
