Thanks for the reply.
I'm using several different video files all in 4K. Some are dolby vision some HDR10. I'm testing playback to a web browser at the moment and it does need transcoding for that but it is not burning in subtitles on any of the files I've been trying to test with.
I'd like to ensure proper playback across a firestick that does not support HDR, a Roku Ultra 4k that does, and web browsers as well a iOS devices. From what you've said there it looks like if I have an HDR video of any kind and it is going to play on any device that does not support HDR content then it's going to tone map it regardless of whether I want it to or not? I'm ok with washed out colours in some content so long as the playback is ok while transcoding but if it needs to transcode it with tone mapping then my server can only produce about 11fps and I cannot actually watch the files. A video card is forthcoming but not available yet.
Is my interpretation of what you are saying accurate? I've allocated 16 cores and 16 gigs of ram to Jellyfin and it is still far too heavy with tonemapping to play the files I have.
