Can you add to your instructions, that Synology owners who intend to HW transcode their HDR content, should use Jellyfin 10.8.11 instead of the latest version. And if they intend to go with the latest Jellyfin anyway, they should disable both tone mapping options. Otherwise, stutters and crashes will happen with every HDR video that needs transcoding.As time is moving on, more clients that use Jellyfin are adding hard requirements to use certain Jellyfin server versions. This is bad advice as for example the current release of the Jellyfin Android TV app doesn't support that old of a server anymore and will not work with it.
It sucks that Synology is using an old Linux kernel that's missing the required files for HDR to properly tone map, but that's a Synology issue that they haven't acted on yet.
Your best course of action if you are deeply into HDR content is to switch to another platform to host Jellyfin that properly supports it. Or wait until Synology updates the kernel they're using.
