I tried “all” settings. I tried reading the logs and norhing helped. I had many months without issues. How do you guys debug it? The logs aren’t too helpful for me and there are too many settings for me to play with. I’ve got an intel GPU with eirher QSV or VAAPI. Disabling does not work either. CPU is normal, GPU is normal. RAM is not full.
Local only via LAN.
I did not change much. Updates of fire tv stick, jellyfin. And now I changed so many settings that I don’t know which ones I had before. But, I tried a new clean jellyfin instance and it’s the same. Sometimes it works and I am happy to have found the right settings but then the next day it stutters again. There is no otherr service running.
Try clean jellyfin but revert one version prior instead of the update you are on. At the very least, this will let you rule out version for jellyfin. The fire stick update may have broken it too. Updating and then having issues overwhelmingly points to the update being the primary suspect.
Are you using wireless? I’m guessing your router is occasionally being oversaturated with traffic. I would turn your streaming quality down to around 2mb and then stream to your device. You can open up Jellyfin in a browser and check the steam information in the Jellyfin Dashboard to check the speed. Keep bumping it up if you want better quality.
If you’re trying to prevent transcoding, then I suggest downloading or ripping lower bitrate content.
If you happen to have a spare router, I would try adding it as an access point and keep your Jellyfin source machine and streaming device on that access point. That should keep the traffic from going through your primary router.
