    You can try to make an additional “user” that the TV uses, and set user specific transcode options.

    I am not sure about this and cannot check myself because my server died last night :( but… I know that you can restrict certain functions for different users (log in as admin and go to Settings/Users). You could check if it’s possible to disable x265 playback for a user, then create a new user that you use exclusively to log in on that device.

    If you set the bitrate in the player below the bitrate of the video, it’ll force Jellyfin to transcode. You can set Jellyfin to only ever transcode to h264, so that should work.
