Generating Trickplay on external server - Aritra Bhattacharya - 2025-02-02
Well hello there, I have a simple JellyFin instance that i host. I would really love to add trickplay to it, but it just isn't powerful enough for that. So i was thinking whenever it wants to create the images it calls a serverless gpu instance for the processing. If anyone has any idea how i could go about doing it please do tell me. I think there is no inbuilt functionality as such, but please do correct me if im wrong.

Jellyfin v10.10 brought an option to use keyframes to generate trickplays.
Enable that and your generation speed will be really fast. Way faster than using a GPU.
Even if you have a lower-end CPU, it will still be plenty fast.
Also, unless you have a really low-end CPU, using GPU acceleration for trickplays usually is slower.
