    So I just grabbed the nightly and it looks like it’s direct playing hevc in Plex. Jellyfin still says codec not supported for me, not sure if I have any settings wrong or of they need to change the auto detect in jellyfin.

      Make sure VA-API is enabled in about:config with “media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled”=true. It should be enabled by default in nightly.

        Yes it’s already enabled, which is how I assume it’s working in Plex. Jellyfin isn’t even deciding to transcode to hevc, so it seems like more of a detection thing in jellyfin since it works fine in Plex web
