Whenever I download movies; I do not like to download 4K movies because it's not guaranteed that every device I'll watch on will be 4K compatible. My phone isn't, my iPad isn't and any potential future device.\

However; there is ONE film that I absolutely needed to download in 4K and add it to my Jellyfin server: -- 'Everything, Everywhere All At Once' because it is not a film - it is a life-changing religious experience and a truly beautiful masterpiece. It's like being thrown into the outer depths of space overlooking every single Galaxy at once while you watch Baby Jesus being born.

I click on the .mkv file on my computer and it plays just fine; but, I try to play it on my Jellyfin server on my TV and it's just a green screen. The audio works so I know it's playing, bft the effdntire video is green. I can't see the player head, the controls the movie - nothing. Just green.

Movie on my Mac.

Movie on my Jellyfin server on my TV.

Now, I'm confuzzled about this as my TV supports 4K. I assume Jellyfin supports 4K. The onn. TV Pro 4K (Which is what is hooked up to my TV and that I'm using with it) supports it.

Why is this happening? Please help.

HARDWARE:

Open Box - Samsung 43" 4K UHD HDR LED Tizen Smart TV 2022

onn. TV Pro 4K 2024

SOFTWARE:

Jellyfin 10.10.7

I'm sorry if this isn't the right sub to ask this, but I'm weary of asking questions in other subs and talking about movies I've torrented. I'm gonna instantly see *POST REMOVED*
