Ah, Ok. DV7. This is a known issue with this DV profile. You will need to either force video transcoding by setting a lower max bit rate or convert the video to HDR10. I wrote a guide for the conversion process, linked below.

How do I force video transcoding by setting a lower max bit rate
RE: Playback stutters/freezes for 4k movies on Android TV but not windows - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-05
In the Android TV app from the Jellyfin home screen, click on the gear in the top right, then Playback. There is a max bit rate setting. Most 4K HDR video has a pretty high bit rate. Setting it to 40-50Mbps would trigger a full transcode.

Thank you

I tried to play the movie and still have a black screen
RE: Playback stutters/freezes for 4k movies on Android TV but not windows - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-06
Did you set a low enough bit rate to trigger a transcode? Or was it still trying to direct play?
RE: Playback stutters/freezes for 4k movies on Android TV but not windows - 098 - 2025-03-06
Yes but I still got a black screen I tried from 20 and above

You probably didn't lower the bitrate enough to trigger a transcode. You can also set the audio output to stereo, which will prompt a transcode.

I changed it to stereo and it didn’t work
On the phyn app doing direct it’s stutterin on the jelly fin app nothing happens
