I'm actually having the same issue, I think. I have two TCL roku TVs, one 1080p on a different network than the server, one 4K on the same network as the server. I've got an old Dell optiplex that I installed a Quadro P400 in and can get transcoding to work (as shown by nvidia-smi), including on devices outside my network, but I cannot get the 1080p roku to play any of the 4K content, which I think is largely down to being 265 instead of 264. For reference, I'm running jellyfin in a docker container on Ubuntu.
I've gone in the settings on the jellyfin app on the troublesome TV and explicitly turned off hevc playback and tried the same thing for h264, and limited the bitrate to 9Mbps in an attempt to force transcoding to 1080p with no success.
I'll attach logs from FFMPEG showing a failed transcoding, as well as a snippet of the full jellyfin log from when it tried to transcode. I'm not trying to hijack this thread, it just seemed like it might be the same issue but if I should create a new thread instead, I'll be happy to do so.
