Which iPhone client are you using? JF Mobile or Swiftfin?
Chrome and Edge supposedly support HEVC, but I haven't had any luck actually making that happen. Pretty sure the same is true for WebOS.
Thanks for the fast reply.
I used iphone app Jellyfin from the appstore. Cant tell which version. Just the thing that came in that week. havent tried Swiftfin.
Its surprising to me that we arent using modern codecs by default. As there is allready a fallback system somewhere in the code.
At least thats my assumption because i saw other users logfiles here in troubleshooting where h264 was a fallback due to playback failure of HEVC(client side)
