Can you share your jellyfin log via pastebin?
Is the file transcoding? It shouldn't in JMP, by default. But there are settings in JMP to force transcoding.

RE: Video Encoding - TheDreadPirate - 2024-09-19
Yeah, the force transcode settings. It isn't clear why it is being transcoded. The video is HEVC 10-bit SDR being converted to 8-bit SDR at the same bit rate. Unless you have a really really old PC, or you are forcing transcoding in JMP, the video shouldn't be transcoding. Going from 10 to 8 bits alone could partially explain the video quality issues. You're losing a lot of gradient.
