Seeking - nothingveryobvious - 2025-02-08
Hello. When I locally direct play a 1080p video, bitrate 5 Mbps, I can play it and seek through it just fine. When I remotely (~ 20 miles away; via reverse proxy, Cloudflare DNS-only, no Cloudflare proxy) direct play the same 1080p video, bitrate 5 Mbps, it plays perfectly, but when I seek, it takes a very long time to finally play. Why is this? Is there a way to improve this?
My server's average speeds are 930 Mbps download and 175 Mbps upload. At the remote location ~ 20 miles away, their speeds are even faster.
It's been like this for a long time now, since earlier versions. I'm on Jellyfin 10.10.5. The client is Jellyfin Android TV 0.18.4.
I'd appreciate any help. Thank you!
