I can almost guarantee that is your issue. Assuming Jellyfin and VLC are coming from the source (flatpak or repo), it sounds like hardware decode is available, but not turned on in the client. In the Jellfyin Media Player, click on the menu and open settings. Click on client settings. Scroll down until you get to the Video section. Click the drop down box under HardwareDecoding and change it from decode.copy to decode.enabled. Then see if the video plays any better.
You were right, hardware decoding was set to copy, not enable.
Now it works as nicely as VLC. Every movie plays smoothly.
Is there a reason for this setting set to copy by default and not enable ?
Thanks for the help, I'll mark my post as solved !
