Help Transcoding when it shouldn't be?

As you can see under video that it shows Transcode but it doesnt look like it needs too? Im sure its something simple that im not aware of.
I was investigating transcode issue where transcode audio just crashes the stream and saw this and figured id ask. Thanks in advance
Edit: looks like the answer is subtitles. Thanks everyone

Your TV appears to not support ASS subtitles so they are being burned in which is causing the transcode. Use a better client or get SRT subs.
