Jellyfin Linux Desktop Client Performance Slow

[juchestalin]

Your client is probably too slow to play the hevc file directly. It should be able to decode it via hw acceleration. What is the cpu usage while playing on the client?

TO check:
Go to the jellyfin client into settings -> client settings and check "force transcode hevc" does that solve it?

If it were too slow to play it directly, would I experience the same problems playing it over a direct NFS mount? What about the Kodi Jellyfin addon? I can't really understand why that one especially is working. I'm not sure how to get the same playback info from the kodi jellyfin addon.
