      In most cases it would be okay. But I have a few files that need on the fly transcoding. I guess another option would be for me to go back and convert them.

        Tradeoffs, right?

        Convert them for the mobile devices, but now your media server has to know which file to serve to which device.

        If Jellyfin had that intelligence, I’d happily pre-convert all my files and pay the storage cost.
