Be wary that high bitrate 4K media may cause issues with playback buffering.
This could be Jellyfin, AppleTV, or it could be network/storage related (due to needing high speed data transfer).
I second using the Infuse app for playback. It works wonderfully!

Really interesting that you’ve encountered this, I have no trouble at all watching super-high bitrate media in Infuse. I may be spoiled with my gigabit internet, but the Apple TV caches entire 4K Blu-rays in minutes on my local network (you can watch the seek bar fill up, it’s really satisfying) so I never thought about this. I’m curious why this hits some users and not others.
