Client incorrectly thinks that it is outside of the local network when routing through locally hosted reverse proxy about jellyfin-androidtv HOT 4 OPEN

No, the transcoding message should be correct. There have been reports of problems with the max streaming bitrate if it is set to auto in the client. You can find it in Preferences > Playback > Max streaming bitrate. Does the problem still occur if it is set to 120 Mbps?

Yep that fixed it. Thank you!

Are you 100% sure the TV respects your local DNS? I am unable to reproduce this. Google pushes their own DNS servers quite a bit on Android TV, so most likely it's set to 8.8.8.8 by default instead of your local DNS. Set the DNS manually to your local DNS resolver with a static IP configuration in Settings > Network & Internet > IP settings or sideload something like Lilly DNS changer as an APK and setup the local DNS that way.

The only way to work around this is to do our own DNS resolution instead of the provided one by Android, but I don't know if that's something we want to do. Maybe we could add this problem to the documentation though.

Hi,

I just checked to make sure, and the Fire TV stick does obey the local DNS settings. From the TV's perspective it should only be routing locally.

Edit: I've noticed that it only happens with 4K HEVC HDR content. Could this just be an incorrect transcoding reason message? Attached is related media info for affected content.
