You could ask on github if you really want to, but you'll just be stuck with me there instead of here. I just don't have a ton of time lately.
I just tried this from one of my clients (linux laptop, kodi 20, jellyfin-kodi installed). Context menu on an item, selected "Jellyfin transcode". It processed for a few seconds and then started playing as expected. Checked the dashboard in the server and it reported the client as transcoding as well. So unfortunately it seems to be something specific on your end. Logs would probably help. As a side note, is there a particular reason you're trying to transcode? Often people use Kodi as a client specifically because it almost never needs to transcode anything.
