Is there a guide to configuring transcoding you could link me to maybe i did it wrong last time? Also I'm wondering if it's possible to set up transcoding in a way that avoids processing 4K content?

If your server is on Windows, that likely explains why you're having performance issues with transcoding. My server was initially on Windows 10, but Windows Defender would hog the CPU when I served up files. Even if I was just direct playing. Switching to Linux resolved all the performance issues.
It sounds like using the desktop Jellyfin Media Player currently makes this a non-issue. But, if you are already familiar with Linux, or are tech savvy enough to learn, it's something to think about for the future.
