Hi, as the title says, when streaming to the jellyfin app an a fire TV, the video freezes every two minutes. This happens when direct streaming, so it shouldn’t be a transcoding issue. Useing the website it works just fine. Any idea how I can find out what this is?

Edit: I just noticed, when forcing transcoding by limiting the quality (Bitrate) on the client to lower values, it does not freeze…

    Hi,

    Every time it happened to me was either transcoding, either a real poor network speed.

    I would double check the transcoding option

        There is an option to disable transcoding completely, try that. Also check is it working with subtitles disabled.

        I used to have issues sometimes when I had rpi4 as media server

          tried with transcoding disabled, no joy, still freezes. Subtitles were also disabled, I rarely watch with subtitles. Edit: I just noticed, when forcing transcoding by limiting the quality (Bitrate) on the client to lower values, it does not freeze
