[Fixed] Jellyfin video stutters on some files (all MKV it seems)
Hello fellow selfhosters! I reformatted my USB hard drive from exFAT to XFS because I needed a filesystem that could handle hardlinks. I remounted the hard drive and now jellyfin webUI has a severe stuttering problem on some videos, all of them are MKV but it may be a coincidence. On android (using exoplayer) the same files works smoothly. what could be the problem?
in the logs I get a bunch of Slow HTTP Response from http://fedoraserver:8096/ to 192.168.1.30 in 0:00:07.4635856 with Status Code 200
OT: while looking at the logs this happened
SOLUTION: I enabled hardware acceleration, and manually selected also the HEVC and Allow encoding in HEVC format settings, and now the stutter disappeared! thanks to everyone for your help!!!

This may help: Container compatibility. MKV files will be remuxed when played via WebUI. Try playing an MP4 file and see if it's the same.
All Mp4 files I tried worked well
I'll read it as soon as I can, thanks!
Interesting that it doesn’t remix on Edge.
Well this info kills any desire I have to install Jellyfin. =(
That has nothing to do with Jellyfin itself. Any comparable service will have the exact same issue because the root cause are browsers not supporting the container.
