Direct Playing a track but player shows it as Transcoding in Playback Info

Server Version#: 1.18.1.1973
Player Version#: 7.24.0.13403

My tracks are Direct Playing but showed as Transcoded in Android mobile player Playback Info menu.
I made a video of the problem while playing FLAC, and while playing MP3.

To compare with the server:
Dashboard%20FLAC
Tautulli%20FLAC
Dashboard%20MP3
Tautulli%20MP3

Or maybe I’m understanding my Dashboard wrong and they are actually transcoding ? But they should be Direct Played seeing my quality settings. In this case this may be related to this topic.

I don’t see anything about ‘transcoding’ in the Dashboard screenshots.

My bad I should have been clearer, the problems are in the videos. Playback Info shows transcoding.
Screenshots are just here to compare what the player displays with what the server do.

I’d say this is very likely the same issue.
