Jellyfin stuttering (lemmy.today)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Starfarer@lemmy.today to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Hi,

I have recently set up a Jellyfin server running on a Beelink S12 pro in docker (with a few other containers running), and I am having a few problems with stuttering video.

I get little micro-stutters every few seconds regardless of whether it is direct play or transcoding and regardless of what client I use (librelec with Jellyfin plugin), android phone, or firefox on a windows laptop), and I am struggling to narrow down the cause of it.

Any ideas of where I should look first?

The server utilisation seems low, I have tried a wired and wifi connection, I have tried 720, 1080, and 2160 resolution videos, with and without transcoding.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I think I have now fixed the problem. I tried a new setup on my gaming PC and everything worked fine. This was running on the same network and same client. This made me think it was something with my server. I used the cup-shares docker command to prioritise the jellyfin container and I've had no stutters since.

Edit2: turns that has not fixed it ๐Ÿ˜”

Sounds like your Video file might be to blame. Does it always happen at the same time stamps? Maybe try watching it locally, does it happen there aswell?

Thanks for the idea.

It doesn't happen locally or the same times. Definitely seems like some kind of network/jellyfin issue.
