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…

    just fyi, direct streaming isn’t really direct streaming as you may think of it if you have specified samba shares on your nas instead of something on the vm running jellyfin. it will still pull from the nas into jellyfin and then http stream from jellyfin, whihc is super annoying.

      How is that annoying and how else would you expect that to function?

      If the data is local doesn’t it still stream over http?
