I would guess that if this happened when playing HEVC video, your client request a transcode because it doesn't support HEVC.
If you turn off the ability to transcode, your client will fail to play it if that's the case.
If you haven't set up Jellyfin to use the GPU for HWA, it will use the CPU to transcode the video. That will use a lot of CPU which is normal.
Using HWA can offload this workload from the CPU so your CPU cores remain at a lower usage.
So yeah, if you want to lower your CPU core usage, make sure to set up HWA.
Please look at the Jellyfin documentation for help on that: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...ualization
