I've been using Jellyfin for roughly 5 years, most of my library are Blu-ray remuxes (50-100 GB) and I haven't had a single one fail to play. My setup is Apple TV with Infuse connected to a LG C9 with a modern Yamaha receiver.

Transcoding is a whole can of worms I chose to avoid by playing everything directly.

Infuse is the magic ingredient that avoids the codec/transcoding issues other people sometimes experience. It supports direct play of pretty much every possible video thx to its built-in codecs. I’ve been using it for 2 years and I don’t think I had a single case of transcoding. It is paid, but worth it IMO.

I currently use the plex direct play feature on android tv with a Nvidia Shield Pro. Is there an equivalent jellyfin android tv app?

Yes there's an android TV app. It's not the greatest feature-wise but never had any issues
