Frustrating experience with direct play and assistive narration on by default

I’m trying to use Live TV and it works, but, I have two issues.

  1. Video playback is direct playback by default, which is like 200+Mbps and runs choppy. If I change the playback settings to convert automatically, it runs great, but only for that one viewing session. If I change channels and go back, it changes back to direct play, which runs poorly.
  2. Channels play an assistive audio track by default, which describes the scenes, on top of the audio of the content. This is extremely distracting and it seems I need to transcode to stop it, which would be fine, if it weren’t for the first issue above.

I can’t find anywhere in my media server settings or player settings to change the default video stream for live TV. I tried changing the local and remote playback settings to convert automatically, but that doesn’t seem to apply to live tv. Does anyone know how I can set things up so I don’t have to go into the playback menu and change settings every single time I try and watch something?
