Hello TheDreadPirate,
this helped me with my problem! Now we can watch these files as well. Thank you very much for the quick answer!
As my curiosity was spiked I looked into the iGPU (as it is mentioned in many guides and is apparently widely used by many) and it seems it supports HEVC up to a certain color depth (HEVC (H.265) 10 bit 4:2:0 but above you need really current gen CPU (Alder lake) for transcoding.

As I took a careful look at CPU usage and power consumption there is only one follow up question left for me:
Will it now never use the iGPU for HEVC or only in these rare high color depth cases? Or only if the player cannot decode it on his own?
As I try to go for h265 files whereever I can this would be really important to know to limit the power use in our household.
Thanks again for the quick and helpful support!
