Playback stutters/freezes for 4k movies on Android TV but not windows - 098 - 2025-03-02
It’s kind of weird I’m using lan on android tv and it stutters.
I’m not using any transcoding just direct play and some movies don’t play at all on the android tv but it does on the windows laptop
Server is Mac mini 2014
Tv is Bravia 8 and using Ethernet
I have the bandwidth to be 200mbps on the tv
Windows is using wifi not lan and is able to play without stutters and every movie

Can you share your jellyfin logs via privatebin.net?

You have the transcode killer plugin installed. Some of your devices need the audio transcoded (and down mixed) and the plugin is killing those transcodes.

When I enabled transcode killer it let the tv play the video for 5 seconds before it gave black screen and nothing would happen

I disabled transcoding killer and getting a black screen

So I had the same issues. I made a thread for this already, and it might be worth looking into this.

This log shows you have transcoding fully disabled now. Can you share one of the ffmpeg logs from the previous attempts? So I can see the codec info for these videos.
