Update: I seem to have partially identified the problem.
The problem was not with audio at all. Audio was only transcoding because I had "Downmix to Stereo" (the default option) checked in the playback settings. Even when playing 2.0 and 1.0 channel audio, it seems that this option still makes the server convert any audio to AAC.
The problem seems to be with Dolby Vision. Although my TV says it supports DoVi, every file that I try to direct play fails, while files with HDR10 pass through just fine. I believe this might be related to the following github issue: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-and...ssues/4892
I'm still not marking this as solved because I'm not sure what's happening here, but it appears to be a bug in the Jellyfin software.
