Official client flatpak
Does it happen on any other client as well?
Uh, well I just tried a movie in the Android client and it didn't seem to be doing it there. I honestly don't know of any other desktop clients for Jellyfin.
You could try using the binary of the client instead of the flatpack.
Just ran across Delfin on the Mint software manager and it's working so far. I'll know if that fixes it soon enough. Seems to be fine though.
Things to check:
- does this happen on all clients for the same video(s)? (Browsers/computers/phones/tvs)
- does this happen for all videos on the affected client(s)?
What color is the color wash?
Sounds like the video is using some kind of encoding that the client isn’t handling correctly.

Yeah, I usually check this stuff but the only place I watch the videos on my Jellyfin server is my PC. Though my kid never said anything about color washing on her devices and she watches them on like 5 different devices.

So do, some don't. It was mostly 265 that was giving me issues. Though 264 would do it from time to time.
What color is the color wash?
Green, blue, sometimes red.

That's what was confusing me because it was the official server and the official client giving me issues.
Delfin seems to be ok though it's GUI is kinda poop.
I’ve had a similar issue with a purple wash with HDR content; my TV wasn’t displaying it correctly but it was fine on my phone.
Unless you are transcoding a particular video, the server has nothing to do with it since it’s just sending the raw video stream.
On your PC the client probably uses the OS’s capabilities for decoding, so that depends on the hardware you have and the codecs that are installed. I can’t really help with that, but there’s gotta be more information out there.
What GPU are you running?
6650XT
I assume this is non-HDR content?
