Trickplay does not works in some movies - Drake97 - 2025-05-20
Hi y'all,
I have some movies that [don't discuss media acquisition] are very old—I practically thought they were lost media. These files are in MKV format, with a resolution of 480p or 720p, and use MP3 audio codecs. Additionally, the video bitrate is low, and overall, the quality isn’t optimal.
Here’s my question: Does the lack of a lossless rip affect trickplay functionality? That is, since these files don’t have segments or chapters embedded, could that be why trickplay doesn’t work properly? For example, I have other movies ripped directly from Blu-ray (some almost 70 GB in size) that also don’t show trickplay segments, while others work just fine. Honestly, I find it quite strange.
I’m not sure if I’m explaining myself clearly, but I wanted to ask about it.
Regards!

Media segments and trickplay are separate. I think you are confusing the two.
Media segments: Media segments are a type of metadata for media files stored in Jellyfin. Unlike chapters, which have no type, media segments can contain type information, allowing different actions based on the type of each segment.
Trickplay is live video scrubbing. When scrubbing through a video with this enabled, you will be able to see a live preview of the video at that timestamp.
