Direct Play vs Transcoding
PLAYBACK MODES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Direct Play (best) Transcode (fallback)
┌──────────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────┐
│ File plays as-is │ │ Server converts video │
│ No CPU usage │ │ Uses CPU heavily │
│ Full quality │ │ May reduce quality │
│ Fastest streaming │ │ Slower start │
└──────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────┘
When does transcoding happen?
├── Device can't play format (e.g., HEVC on old TV)
├── Subtitles are "burned in" (image-based subs)
├── Bandwidth too low for full quality
└── Client requests lower quality
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ TIP: Use MP4/MKV with H.264 + SRT subtitles │
│ for maximum Direct Play compatibility. │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
