    Could someone better aquainted with jellyfin just sanity check my understanding cause im pulling my hair out here.

    so i have 2 roku tvs. a 4k one and a 1080p one.
    i have jellyfin set up on an old v520 and the roku client installed on each tv.
    the server is hardwired to the network and the two tvs are connected to the network wirelessly
    the collection has both 4k H.265 10 bit and 1080p videos.

    as far as i understand it. the H.265 videos will not play on the 1080p tv as the client doesnt support that codec. so i should be able to go into the dashboard and turn on hardware acceleration. and jellyfin should automatically transcode the video into one that the 1080p roku can play?

    am i understanding all this correctly? cos i cant for the life of me get the 4k videos to play on the 1080p Roku
    Thanks in advance
