    I have enabled HEVC support in chrome, and other online test videos work as expected. However, Jellyfin still forces a transcode, and on 4K HEVC, this is very heavy. How do I get Jellyfin to serve me the direct stream? Playback works as expected with Infuse.

    I believe that direct playing HEVC in chrome is only possible if the HEVC video is in a MP4 container.
    Try remuxing the video(s) into MP4 containers.

    Note that all the other streams inside the MP4 will need to be direct playable by chrome too to avoid transcoding.

    Can't Jellyfin remux to an MP4 container for me instead of doing a full transcode?

    Jellyfin currently remuxes to the TS container, which has some codec limitations. Jellyfin 10.9 is supposed to be able to remux to fMP4, but I can't remember if that was actually merged or not.
