Playback has everything to do with the client and very little with the server. For the client to not ask for a transcode of the server, the client must support all the features of the native file. Often what happens is subtitles cause a transcode to embed them into the file for display as some smart tv clients don’t support the srt. So to help further will need to better understand the features/capabilities of your smart tv.
