Thanks for looking.
I should clarify the reason for transcoding on playback info is:
'There was an error starting direct playback'
I have spotted some more 'interesting' behaviour. for a Dolby vision file I also see transcoding but the reason in this case:
'The videos' range type is not supported'
It was before.
On LG OLED55G26LA:
Streaming through webOS app, I am struggling to find a version for it but suffice to say it is the latest.
Accessing through the smart web browser has the same behaviour.
This worked on a previous version so I am confident the hardware is all capable.
The change is the jellyfin update but appears to be isolated to me so I am inclined to believe it's 'something' on my host machine setup.
I am aware the ffmpeg version has changed, I have crudely tried uninstalling/reinstalling between jellyfin-ffmpeg6 and 7 to no avail. As a test I will try initiating streams using the different versions again and see if logs yield some clues.
To me it looks like ffmpeg is just transcoding by default; I see no errors and yet all my transcodes have something along the lines of:
Stream mapping:
Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (hevc (native) -> h264 (h264_qsv))
But no indication as to why, the only thing I can infer is the aforementioned playback info errors...
