2. Assuming you are using JF app on iphone, go to: Settings -> Playback -> Advanced: "Prefer fMP4-HLS Container
You may also try going to client settings and switching to the integrated player instead of the web player, which supports more codec. If you do that make sure you go back into playback settings and re "prefer" the MP4-HLS container.
3. On roku - options -> settings -> playback -> profile level support -> HEVC - Enabled. Also be aware that only some Roku hardware supports HEVC,
Also note Roku app still a WIP there is an open ticket for people that have HEVC issues. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/issues/449

So if using chrome that won't work and if chrome is your default browser on your iphone youll need to switch to internal player.
I also verified it didnt work in firefox or brave just for S&G.
And for good measure I pulled up a JF media player desktop client just to ensure that it would serve HEVC direct play (it does) and then I lowered bit rate to 720kbps and... it transcoded to h264!
What is going on!?
Found it - once again in client settings - had to CHECK the box to allow HEVC transcoding.
Moral of the story - if your sure your server is set up properly - the issue lies with the clients.
Hi, so I looked and apparently more browsers support AV1 than HEVC. Is there a way I can make JellyFin transcode to AV1 if it needs to instead of HEVC? HEVC is the only option in the client settings.
