I figured out what was causing the issue. Not at a root cause level since I'm not in the code.
When I would stream HEVC content from my Jellyfin server, hosted on a Synology DS1522+ with no GPU, Jellyfin would sometimes hangup on the stream and the client would freeze. Closing out the client with the red X close button would seem to close the client, but when restarted it would have the issue of not finding the saved servers.
Going into task manager and stopping the process for the Jellyfin client fixed the issue and lets the client start with the saved servers.
I have a somewhat similar issue wtih VLC and HEVC files, where I'll need to stop the process in task manager. My Jellyfin client is running on a Windows 10 laptop with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M GPU, but it still has issues with HEVC playback.
