Any way to have direct steam be the default playback

[Volfan6415 19]

Ok so i have found that with my particular setup .... files live on NAS - with emby running on proxmox container connected to nas ... and rokuTV device connected over 5ghz wifi

Files can often start and play with direct play but sometimes run into buffering/stuttering issues during prolonged playback or other high disk activity on the nas....

manually switching to directstream often fixes this issue (i assume this is because the emby server directly buffers the file on the server)

is there anyway to have direct stream be the default playback format for every file that is played?

Or is there somewhere else i should be looking to debug the direct play buffering issues?

Hi.  I think we need to look at a specific example because it doesn't make much sense that remuxing would improve playback if the issue is that the server is busy.
