About the Bug

Thanks for all the work on this so far, it's a massive improvement on the default Jellyfin client IMO!

As per title, the following codec doesn't seem to render video, audio is fine however

What generation Apple TV do you have? It's in Settings > General > About, mine's A2843

[janstenpickle]

It's a 4K 2nd generation (A2169) running tvOS 26.2. I also have a 4k 1st generation (A1842), which I haven't tested yet

I just looked at your issue again. I'm doing some work to improve the HDR experience (though Jellyfin itself will need some updates to actually get it working well), which should have the bonus of fixing some media that isn't playing. I noticed that you have your Stingray version set to v1.1.0, which isn't out yet and only just had a feature branch opened up for. Did you mean v1.0.1 or v1.0.0? Also are those stats pre or post transcode?
