DVR always transcodes

[TylerV76 84]

I noticed today that all my DVR recordings are transcoding when being viewed however all other media including live TV direct plays. Am I missing something? Shouldnt the recordings also direct play since the channel they recorded from direct plays?

If I play a recording on any of the PC's in my network via a browser such as Chrome or Firefox the video transcodes instead of direct play. If I play it thought the Emby Theater app in windows 10 it direct plays, my phone direct plays etc. I cant use the theater app because the TV volume overrides my PC volume settings for some reason. 

 

If I play a live channel or video from a file it direct plays. The only thing that transcodes is the recorded shows.

 

Attached are the logs from the latest attempt.

The web browser not supporting mpegts files has to be the reason. I didnt see that thread when searching. Thank you. Now if I could get my restart after an upgrade issue handled Id be all set. That will eventually require another thread.
