Playback slow start - EthanZ - 2025-10-06
Hi, I am running jellyfin 10.10.7 on a DS423+ using Container Manager. And realized the playback will take minutes to start with some 4k videos when transcoding is needed. I have hardware acceleration turned on using QSV. The CPU usage is not high after the playback started. I am not sure if that’s due to hardware limitations or an inappropriate setup. Please help.
And the setting attached.
