Hello fellow selfhosters! I reformatted my USB hard drive from exFAT to XFS because I needed a filesystem that could handle hardlinks. I remounted the hard drive and now jellyfin webUI has a severe stuttering problem on some videos, all of them are MKV but it may be a coincidence. On android (using exoplayer) the same files works smoothly. what could be the problem?
in the logs I get a bunch of Slow HTTP Response from http://fedoraserver:8096/ to 192.168.1.30 in 0:00:07.4635856 with Status Code 200
OT: while looking at the logs this happened
SOLUTION: I enabled hardware acceleration, and manually selected also the HEVC and Allow encoding in HEVC format settings, and now the stutter disappeared! thanks to everyone for your help!!!
You mean a new sever or a new client?
yes!
server. it was choking on decoding
But I know of people running jellyfin on a raspberry, I have an old laptop but it’s not that old… There’srno way to run it smoothly?
yeah, re-encode to a lighter encoding like 264. might be slightly larger, but less work for the cpu
