Desktop player shuttering - sweetthdevil - 2025-08-24
Hello all,
I have been a long time user of Jellyfin and love it.
I have an Archlinux jellyfin server - however, I have now moved it behind the TV and installed a desktop and Jellyfin local player to used the power of the computer to watch 4k video directly rather than through the network or via the TV app - so computer is connected to the TV directly via HDMI.
The client is connected via 127.0.0.1 to the server but 4k videos are shuttering. If I use VLC those videos are playing absolutely fine.
Any advice on how to make the client read the file comfortably?
