I installed Jellyfin on my Intel Macbook Pro to evaluate it's performance and a few other machines. Per the guide, I tried to enable HW acceleration for 4K stream. But the transcoding hw option is not visible in playback. I installed the latest stable Mac native app as a server (v10.10.7) on my Macbook. Googled / searched this site but couldn't find any additional steps to enable VideoToolbax in Jellyfin.
Guide: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-i...ion/apple/
Out of the box I'm unable to get even a single 4K playback using Jellyfin even with more powerful hardware. The same 4K stream work fine with Plex with HW acceleration even on an old Celeron J3455.
Specs below. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.
