So I checked the available logs after streaming a playlist for a while, which I’ve never done before (probably a huge mistake on my part). I have a generic “log_xxxxxxx.log” file that doesn’t seem to have any relevant info, but the only ffmpeg logs I have are related to video files from yesterday. Interestingly, the transcoding speeds seem to slow down over time; flac/wav files seem fine at first, but struggle to play after 30 minutes or so in a playlist of constant playback.
I’ve disabled the native antivirus and Simplewall supposedly blocks most (if not all) of the Microsoft bloat
Outside of Jellyfin, the computers seem to communicate just fine. Transfer speeds are what I would expect and disk read/write is usually fine as well. Like I mentioned in the post, it self-resolved since I made the post. But my concern is the same: what could be causing the underlying issue? I’ll check the logs later and I’ll report back
Edit: forgot to mention that I have a few 5.1 SACDs @ 24/192k that have always completely choked my system. Doesn’t matter which machine or how extreme the transcoded settings are, it nukes the playback
I love the Jellyfin team so much
My plan is 500 gigs down, but my computer (Ethernet wired to the server) gets transferal speeds of about 4 megs down. Super cool
Jellyfin in the browser has been my preferred way to play media. I have the desktop app, but it constantly gets hung up on lossless music and movies over 480p. I could have screwed up a setting, but I don’t know
I set up transcoding according to the guide and enabled hardware acceleration, per user recommendation
What generalization? You mean the widely accepted pain that comes from it?
I respect your opinion, but I’ll pass
Seconded, it’s surprisingly easy to install and has a feature specifically for this
