Video Encoding - Toby - 2024-09-19
Recently been having issues with a particular media, works fine in vlc but becomes pixelated in jellyfin media player - no i cannot use another player, all other media work fine

Can you share your jellyfin log via pastebin?
Is the file transcoding? It shouldn't in JMP, by default. But there are settings in JMP to force transcoding.

and are u talking client side force transcoding
?
RE: Video Encoding - TheDreadPirate - 2024-09-19
Yeah, the force transcode settings. It isn't clear why it is being transcoded. The video is HEVC 10-bit SDR being converted to 8-bit SDR at the same bit rate. Unless you have a really really old PC, or you are forcing transcoding in JMP, the video shouldn't be transcoding. Going from 10 to 8 bits alone could partially explain the video quality issues. You're losing a lot of gradient.

Having the same issue still
RE: Video Encoding - Toby - 2024-09-20
I tried running a mock server with my main pc (4080 Super) and it seemed to not be as bad still subtly there
My Server runs a 1650 all other videos play fine tho
RE: Video Encoding - TheDreadPirate - 2024-09-20
Hardware decoding should be set to "enabled". Is your main PC, the one with the 4080, the PC running jellyfin media player?
RE: Video Encoding - Toby - 2024-09-20
yes the 4080 is the pc running the media player
the 1650 is server side
I enabled hardware decoding and it has slightly improved the quality but not by much
I dont know is this helps
RE: Video Encoding - TheDreadPirate - 2024-09-21
It appears you have a really low streaming bit rate limit on the server, spotty network connection, or you've configured a client side bit rate limit.
"The video's bitrate exceeds the limit."

i have seem to isolate the issue, Ive have a vpn setup for my network and ive read that having a vpn makes jellyfin automatically transcode to a device outsite the internal network. i fixed this issue by added 192.168.0.0/24,***.***.***.***/** (Vpn ip range/subnet) to the lan networks fucntion in the networking. Ive also removed bandwidth limiters in the server. I have 40mb upspeed and 600down on my home internet, althought this issue is fixed on JMP for my 4080 PC i still have the same issues as before when using my chromecast.
