Have you checked and enabled hardware acceleration?
Support and troubleshooting steps are dependent on your GPU and OS.

Should that matter for direct play? On Plex I never used hardware acceleration and focused on my media player being able to play everything. My client is a full PC, with an Nvidia GPU on Windows. The client doesn’t seem to be using it from what I can tell.
Am I misunderstanding this? Is a client setup here different from the server?

In my personal experience the jellyfin clients just aren’t as good. I play my whole jellyfin library through Kodi and everything direct plays without issue.

Try jellyfin-mpv-shim. It directly uses =mpv= (either a built in version or even your system =mpv=) and if it doesn’t play well there, it’s likely not going to play well anywhere.
