Here's my setup:
Emby server 4.9.3.0 in a docker container on UnRaid. No GPU on it and no transcoding set, as desired
Emby Theater 3.0.20 on Windows 11 home playing a 4K Live TV stream from server above
Emby Windows 2.234.2.0 on Windows 11 Pro streaming the same 4K Live TV channel from server above

Here's the Stats for Nerds from Emby Theater. As you can see Hardware acceleration is dxva2-copy. Stream is playing fine and client CPU usage is low

Here's the Stats for Nerds from Emby Windows. Notice the Hardware acceleration is set to NO. Stream is playing fine except client CPU usage is through the roof

So, how to set proper hardware acceleration on Emby Windows 2.234.2.0?

Go to Video Player and try changing the quality preset to Energy Efficient.
