Yo!  Thank you /so/ much for this software- its a long held dream come true.
Im a big dumb idiot so I cant wrap my head around this issue- .mkv files work perfect when I play them directly through jellyfin but when e-TV streams them they look like they were shot on a nokia.
Is the encoder trying to display them at 1080p or upscale them or something?  Am I just out of luck if Im trying to populate a schedule from a mixed file type directory?
  
Thank you for your time and all the fun!
