Samsung tv always transcode DVR live stream

Hi @anon18523487 and @sa2000. I recently started a new thread Live TV transcoding/buffering issue on Samsung TV client and I haven’t had any replies on it. Then I found this thread which I realized is exactly the same issue.

As you may see from my thread I noticed I could induce the same issue on my Firestick as there is a client setting “Transcode Interlaced”. If I switch this on I get the same issue as on my Samsung TV, but on the Samsung TV client this option does not exist.

I did a bit more digging and I found that the option was added to the Firestick client based on this thread: Interlaced content now transcoding on Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K? by @sa2000.

Please can you check if this is the same issue seen on the Samsung TV client and whether it can be fixed in the same way?
