    In my case it is wrong, and emby has no issue direct playing h265 content, while jellyfin reports that the codec is incompatible
    It seems its using some method other than isTypeSupported, canPlayType or mediaCapabilities, since all of these report that h265 is supported
    Running Thorium with hardware decoding disabled so its using FFmpegVideoDecoder which should have no issue playing h265.
    I have tried the option "Prefer fMP4-HLS Media Container", no effect
    Thanks for reading

    https://www.google.com/search?q=thorium
    "Thorium (chemical symbol Th) is a naturally occurring radioactive metal"

    https://www.google.com/search?q=thorium+jellyfin
    "Thorium: Chromium fork named after radioactive element"

    so we know it's some sort of chrom(e)(ium) ...

    for example, i am running a Firefox 115.6.0esr fork on Debian 12 Bookworm




    a little looking and i wouldn't be able to help with thorium or chrome
    the initial question of where does this code live turned into support for a browser i didn't know existed which is based on a browser i already cannot get to work

    recommendations are
    compare to a non forked browser, if it's a chrom* issue or a thorium one would be the question
    compare to jellyfin media player which is better suited for the task at hand
    compare to mpv-shim for jellyfin
