How do I Transcode to H.265?

Definitely going to echo Lozza's comment. I was wondering the same thing. Transcodes were always in H264, even though I can transcode HEVC to lower bitrate HEVC (I limit Internet bit rates). But, whatever. The transcode quality was good as is.

I was at a friends house and when I setup my Jellyfin on their Roku and played a movie to keep our kids occupied. I noticed that it was transcoding HEVC -> lower bit rate HEVC. So what codec the transcodes uses is dependent on what is best supported by the playback device.
