Currently all transcoding targets SDR. If using direct-playback or direct-streaming, HDR is preserved. Note that hardware encoders (for example QSV) also generally do not support carrying dynamic HDR metadata (HDR10+/DoVi), usually only static HDR10/HLG.
Currently our Jellyfin-FFmpeg part for HDR10/HDR10+/HLG/DoVi to HDR10 transcoding is in place. After completing the transcoder refactor, Jellyfin will allow users to choose to transcode from HDR to HDR (with reduced resolution/bitrate).
