Jellyfin: Can I disable HEVC playback on ONE device? (lemm.ee)

So, the issue at hand is, I have a Chromecast 4K with Jellyfin Android TV on it. And most of my library is x265/HEVC. But, whenever playing from this specific device, it will natively take HEVC, but with exoplayer library it plays kinda like a slideshow, at about 5-10FPS. Choosing VLC should be ok, and forcing a transcode will result in a perfectly playable x264 at 24-30-60FPS or whatever is needed. But x265 with the default exoplayer seems to be a struggle. Is there a way either in Jellyfin Android TV or in the server, to specifically disable x265 playback, but only on this device?

You can try to make an additional "user" that the TV uses, and set user specific transcode options.

Thanks...I was looking onto that, but I don't think I've seen the option to always transcode x265 back to x264...Unless the device truly can't. But if it can decode, it's preferred, and I'm not sure there's an option to change that.
