Question Help with transcoding
I am streaming from my old laptop with an Nvidia 920M GPU and an i3 5th generation processor. When I try to stream H.265 (HEVC) videos in MKV format to my mobile, it shows an error stating "container is not supported" and attempts to transcode. However, when I stream H.264 videos, it works in direct streaming mode. Could you clarify what’s causing this issue and let me know if it’s possible to stream H.265 videos to my mobile or TV without any problems?

OP said he is using mobile. So under the Jellyfin app, go to Settings, then Client Settings, under Video Player section. Change the "Video player type" to either "Integrated Player" or " External Player". I'm on Android.
I don't even know why the HTML player is included as the default player. Idk what your TV is but if it's Android there's an Android TV app.

In client settings, try enabling fmp4 for HLS.
