    Okay, to wrap this up:

    Dolby Vision is dropped, but that's not the reason for transcoding.
    There is a bug in the Android TV App which leads to incorrect device profile parsing and problems with removing enhancement layers. Even if this gets fixed, Jellyfin is currently not able to convert DV7 to DV8 on-the-fly, as Kodi is doing (compatibility mode).

    Audio is transcoded though.
    In my case the TrueHD audio seems to not work in Jellyfin, and that's why the audio is transcoding. Not sure exactly why this is happening, as my setup supports all lossless audio formats, including TrueHD and DTS-HD/DTS-X (Homatics Box R 4K Plus + Denon X1800H).

    Anyways, I guess I will stick with Kodi as Client for Jellyfin 10.11
