Just like the title says, stats say it's because of a "Unsupported Video Profile"

Pretty sure chrome does not support Hi-10P https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=445071 (it converts them on the backend if you read through the long thread)

 

Google officially dropped H264 from Chrome in 2011.

No, that's not the case. H264 I don't think was ever actually removed. It doesn't transcode basic h264, only High 10. I've verified this via logs and stats for nerds (all my media is base h264). I've also test high 10 via file:/// and it works fine. So chrome supports it. (or at least seems too)

If it isn't supported, is there a way to force not transcoding to the browser? I can always just run it through ffmpeg, but I've done that for all of my media that uses High 10, and it'd be nice to not have to do that.
