Might be a jellyfin setting. I discovered that while the players report the device capabilities (with some caveats), some edge cases make the server still transcode video because it instructs certain formats to always transcode. There are too many variables and the server plays it safe. The biggest culprit is bitrate.
Have everything set to max (AndroidTV is wired, easy gigabit rates to NAS). I’ve tried literally every setting I can think of and it just continually spits back transcodes for DTS & DA content.
Doesnt matter if video is 4k HDR Remux or 1080p encode.

It’s the second most commented open issue on the Jellyfin Android TV Github (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/issues/281). If you can crack the case you’ll make a lot of people happy :D
