That’s a surprisingly complicated question! If you post the playback info, that might help. Also, what are you hosting Jellyfin on, what OS, environment, gpu? Do the same videos pay back clean in VLC? Does the computer posting back the media have scaling, or a weird OS? I have my Jellyfin in a Proxmox container and had all kinds of issues when passing a (very old) GPU through, but without it I can’t get 4k. I have more than a few movies where I manually re-encoded them before putting them on Jellyfin and kept the source file zipped up for storage.
Thanks for helping! I’m both hosting and playing it on a CachyOS (Arch) KDE machine with an Intel i5 and NVIDIA RTX, and the videos are fine on VLC, Haruna, and mpv.
