why is the video being touched by Emby server?

Hello

I am wondering why Emby thinks to touch / transmux this video, what exactly is happening here? I set an automatic remote streaming quality for that user.

Does this mean that the user changed the value from automatic to something else?

Hi, doesn’t your second screenshot explain it?

But why should it do that? The user is not allowed to transcode to a lower Bitrate, so why does the server transmux to hls (and seems to show a wrong info in UI)?

The quality setting can still trigger that. You have to take away all conversion permissions if that’s  what you want .
