HDR not playing on Android TV anymore - en33-08 - 2025-06-01

Jellyfin Server Version
10.10.3 

Installation method and platform
  • - Windows 11
  • - Jellyfin server running on a desktop PC with an NVIDIA GPU
  • - Hardware acceleration enabled using NVENC for transcoding

Issue description
HDR videos used to play correctly on my Jellyfin Android TV app client using NVENC transcoding. However, as of yesterday, when I try to play HDR content on the Android TV app, playback attempts to start but immediately fails with an error. After this error, playback continues but only in SDR (non-HDR) mode instead of the expected HDR.

Log
Here's a pastebin of the log around the time when the error happened (tho two other more were created at the time so I am not sure if this is the correct one).
