Turning off all the hardware acceleration options will only result in CPU transcoding. Which is very very demanding even at 1080P.
This makes sense and I believe that is what was happening. And as for the browsers I have given up on them because they will convert everything to SDR so it's not a good option.
Right now, I have HDR10 enabled, I turned H/A on, and tone mapping with BT.2390 algorithm selected. Could you tell me by doing this are the videos still being tone mapped to SDR on JF player or am I seeing HDR? I don't see a difference in the colors even when I have tone mapping disabled, but H/A is something that I should leave on because my CPU obv won't be able to process these files even if JF Media Player supports them.

I might be wrong. I'm still a bit of an HDR noob. But, again, see my prior post about Jellyfin Media Player's limitations and suggestion you use MPV Shim.
My monitor is able to handle HDR as I have been gaming with that on, and I can see a noticeable difference, but it's hard to tell with movies. I do use MPV player, I'm not sure if it is developed by the same people that made MPV Shim. MPV player is able to handle every format, and I'm not sure what it actually does to make everything work. I could stick with MPV player, but I honestly like using Jellyfin since I'm able to browser my entire collection on it and stream media across my devices. I also have MPC-BE, along with madVR & LAVfilters which also runs every format except for Dolby Vision. I think I have read somewhere that it won't support DoVi.

I know this, I mentioned DoVi because I wanted to know how JF handles that format. I turned off H/A and tried to play DoVi on JF player, but my cpu went crazy.
