Another 'How Can I Force Transcoding' Question - harmincnegy - 2024-10-10

Hi All

I've seen threads about using DLNA profiles and I tried but failed.

How can I force the transcoding of 4K HEVC / VP9 (or actually, anyting above 1080p would work) content so that an AppleTV HD can play it using the InFuse player on there?

I spent a lot of time trying to find the issue where playback begins but freezes video after 4 seconds while audio continues. 

Only today did I realise that Jellyfin is NOT transcoding this content to the AppleTV. I am frankly amazed that the video plays at all, even for a few seconds.

This is a Jellyfin installation on a Ubuntu Server VM inside Proxmox with NVidia passthrough. All other clients are happy with direct and transcoded content.

You don't use DLNA with an AppleTV running infuse.

Can you share your full jellyfin log via pastebin?
