Please describe your bug

My TV can decode HEVC but Jellyfin DLNA server always chooses to transcode HEVC, regardless of what I specify in the profile
Always seeing "PlayMethod=Transcode, TranscodeReason=VideoCodecNotSupported"

Custom Profile /etc/jellyfin/dlna/user/Panasonic GX800.xml
...<DirectPlayProfile container="mkv" audioCodec="aac,ac3,dca,mp3,mp2,pcm" videoCodec="h264,h265,hevc,mpeg2video" type="Video" />...
