RE: Most compatible container and format - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-26

Can you share your latest docker compose?

Also run this command and share the output.

Code:
sudo docker exec jellyfin env

And also this.

Code:
sudo cat /media/data/jellyfin/config/config/encoding.xml

And I see you are using VAAPI instead of Intel Quick Sync. Switch to Quick Sync and make sure you only check boxes that your CPU supports.

The Coffee Lake column.

Tested on Shield TV Pro 2019 client and playback starts right away, testes on never played track, no remux, updated log https://pastebin.com/raw/v9U4vsEp

RE: Most compatible container and format - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-26

At the top, you can check all the boxes except AV1. Also check Allow encoding in HEVC, Enable VPP tone mapping, Enable Tone mapping, Enable VBR audio, Throttle Transcodes, Delete Segments.

Change the transcode path to /config/transcodes.

Save and try again.

RE: Most compatible container and format - ghiamar - 2024-07-26

Done, see attachment

Tried on another track in web player, triggered remux, long playback start delay, updating logs.

Remux https://pastebin.com/6wsmzDy7

Log https://pastebin.com/EfkgbpHM

RE: Most compatible container and format - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-26

I have a file with the exact same codecs and containers. When I disable transcoding and only allow remuxing it remuxes correctly into a MP4 instead of .MOV like yours does. I think the reason it takes so long to start is because .MOV doesn't support segmentation so you have to wait for the remux to fully complete before it starts.

Let's try rebuilding the docker container.

Code:
sudo docker compose down jellyfin

sudo docker system prune -a

sudo docker compose up -d jellyfin

We are stopping Jellyfin, then pruning the virtual file system it creates and the image. This does NOT delete your permanent config files or media. Then starting jellyfin again. It will re-pull the image and rebuild the container.

RE: Most compatible container and format - ghiamar - 2024-07-26

I'm using portainer so I've stopped the jellyfin container, then in the host cmd ran sudo docker system prune -a and then deployed the stack again. Tried to play track #27 and that created two remux logs:
https://pastebin.com/raw/F2cxBRPy
https://pastebin.com/raw/mv40sDYV

And the delay stayed, then I realized that I haven't mapped the domain used for jellyfin locally to the host server local IP (since all clients are in my home network), changed that in my router to point my jellyfin domain name to the local server IP address and the delay went away, no remuxes since then... ¿¿??

Current JF log
https://pastebin.com/raw/Q6yhkKE0

Is there a way somehow going into internet to query the JF local server through JF configured domain caused the remux and the slowness? (the slowness I can get it because of the internet loop, but the remux ¿¿??)

Another one. ¿can I be certain that a Handbrake transcoded video with this result is compatible enough to get Direct playing in all clients?

RE: Most compatible container and format - ghiamar - 2024-07-26

iOS delay also gone, no remux at all

RE: Most compatible container and format - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-27

The only issue I see are the subtitles. For max compatibility, SRT subs are recommended.

RE: Most compatible container and format - ghiamar - 2024-07-28

Great! Can I transcode subs to SRT in handbrake? Or I have to export/convert/inserting Handbrake or just leave them beside the video files in media folder?
