To verify HW transcoding is working properly you can open the Jellyfin dashboard in the Jellyfin menu. Go to the advanced section and log-files "logboeken" in Dutch.
If you did wacht a file that needed transcoding you will see log files starting with ffmpeg.transcode-...
Search for the part where it shows what ffmpeg is doing. See my example below. If it states h264_vaapi the HW transcoding is working correctly.
Stream mapping:
Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (vp9 (native) -> h264 (h264_vaapi))
Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (vorbis (native) -> ac3 (native))
