The washed out colors happens when the HDR video is transcoding but you didn't enable tone mapping. Transcoding happens when the client can't direct play the video due to compatibility issues.
There are many kinds of HDR and your client may not support all of them.
I have tried it just now, on iOS in both Jellyfin and Swiftin, direct play is a hit or a miss for the same file! It plays in direct play sometimes and sometimes it doesn't, if I enable force direct Play, I get a black screen with a slash over the play icon. Is there a way to make it consistent direct play.
