Hello everyone and thank you in advance for any help.
I am having issues to properly setup the configuration I have and mostly the DLNA transcoding.
Main goal is to get the best picture quality to the TV (4k HDR).
The setup:
I found that the TV is recognized, but it is using the default preset and most of the HDR things are not running in HDR at all.
So I took one of the 'LG Smart TV.xml' presets from (C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\config\dlna\system), made a copy and renamed to 'Philips.xml'. That had some good results, so I started to edit.
The struggle is that the above-mentioned Philips POS559002 TV is kind of stupid... Even using a USB drive I cannot run some of the HDR films. I guess it has some very limited codecs or hardware (P5 Perfect Picture Engine) capabilities with the default TV player.
So, currently, the full 'Philips.xml' is attached
Here is the Direct play part:
---
<DirectPlayProfiles>
<DirectPlayProfile container="ts,mpegts,avi,mkv,m2ts,mp4" audioCodec="aac,ac3,eac3,mp4,mp3,wma,wav" videoCodec="HEVC,h265,h264" type="Video" />
<DirectPlayProfile container="mp4,m4v" audioCodec="aac,ac3,eac3,mp4,mp3,wma,wav" videoCodec="h264,mpeg4" type="Video" />
<DirectPlayProfile container="mp3" type="Audio" />
<DirectPlayProfile container="jpeg" type="Photo" />
</DirectPlayProfiles>

I found that in most cases it cannot run the TrueHD Audio, so I have to fast switch to another audio track or the player freezes and after a while just dies.
For example in: Murder.on.the.Orient.Express.2017.2160p.UHD.BluRay.REMUX.HDR.HEVC.Atmos
Also, some films are running kind of smoothly (surprisingly): Johnny.English.Strikes.Again.2018.UHD.BluRay.2160p.HEVC.DTS-HD.MA.7.1.REMUX-HDRemuX
Some are not starting in HDR at all:
1080p AMZN WEB-DL x265 HEVC 10bit EAC3 5.1
Season.1-8.1080p.BluRay.x265.HEVC.10bit.AAC-SET
My question is how to make the proper setup in the 'Philips.xml', according to the specifications of the TV and the supported codecs, so it can use the direct profiles and to transcode only the files it cannot play.
And eventually resolve the HDR issues with some of the files.

The setup:
- Windows 10 PC: Ryzen 5800x3D, 4070 TI
- Latest version of Jellyfin Server
- Philips POS559002 wired connection to the home network (1Gbps, but the LAN port of the TV seems to link on 100 Mbps).
- Latest version of Jellyfin android TV app - playing with libVLC
