I finally just got my jellyfin server running and pirate shows and movies again even ones I have a sub for. Because I don't have to click past a bunch of bullshit before the show starts.
What hardware are you using on the player side? My server works fine to my tablet and phone but my pi4 has terrible playback to the tv.
If it's not direct playing, it could be that transcoding is too much for the Pi4.
Yeah it's the transcoding that's very bad direct play is still chopy above 720.
What’s your network connection? And also, is your TV actually direct playing? Because if your file formats/codecs are incompatible, it might not anyways
Direct play is scp the file to the pi and play from the class 10 sd card. LAN is gigabit.
My guess would be the SD card being the problem. SD cards aren’t that fast, even in best case scenarios and a raspi isn’t exactly a best case scenario. And besides, you’re probably sharing it with the OS. Try a USB HDD or at the very least a fast USB 3.0 stick.
(Also, Class 10 doesn’t say anything about read speed, only write speed that isn’t terribly fast either with 10MB/s. A UHS rating would give more indication about read speeds)
