Transcoding Audio Only Stuttering - designingbeing - 2025-03-05
When transcoding audio only, playback pauses for 10-30 seconds every couple of minutes.
The machine is running Proxmox -> Debian 12 VM -> Docker -> Jellyfin
- CPU isn't spiking on the Debian VM
- Transcoding video and audio at the same time was working without pausing playback before I migrated to docker, haven't noticed any problems so far
- Stuttering occurs at the same time as a spike in disk reads on the Debian VM and a spike in IO delay on the proxmox host
- Media is stored on a NFS mounted ext4 volume on a USB HDD
Debian VM
Proxmox Host

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Is the container using host networking or bridge networking?

Thanks for the reply.
The docker is configured to use host networking.
The issue is also present on a LXC running Debian 12. No docker, just a regular install of 10.10.6.
Hardware tanscoding is confirmed working in the LXC by selecting a low bitrate on the client.
Frequent pausing does not occur while video is being transcoded at low bitrate: 3mbit/s has no pausing, 5mbit/s has frequent pausing.

Are transcodes also written to the NFS share? Or to a local disk? Does this issue happen on all clients? Or a specific client?
