I use Jellyfin heavily, and it's a fantastic project, but I really wish they would address the issues with transcoding, specifically the ability to force it on.

My library contains a decent amount of HDR (lots of DV) content. On my TVs (using Nvidia Shield), it will direct play the DV content, resulting in a green picture. If I turn on burned-in subtitles or drop the bitrate and FORCE it to transcode, it's looks perfect. I've resorted to just setting a low bitrate on clients so it always transcodes.

I'm really hoping a future version gives us the ability to set more fine-grained transcoding settings per-client. Even the ability to disable direct-play completely would be fantastic.

I think you can do some settings related to transcoding per user account. Maybe that will help.

10.10 included much better HDR format specificity and support. It's possible your issue was fixed.
