Transcoding 4k with i7-10700 - Danlovecraft - 2025-10-14
Greetings everyone! I'm running jellyfin from my truenas, no vacation, just straight truenas. Here are the system specs:
MOBO: MAG B460 TOMAHAWK
CPU: Intel i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz
RAM: 32gb (KF3200C16D4/8GX) and (KHX3200C16D4/8GX)
I don't have my truenas version, but both truenas and jellyfin are the latest stable release.
My issue right now, is during 4k playback it takes quite a while to load the video. It plays for 2 seconds, pauses, plays 3 seconds, pauses, and continues this. 1080p vids are fine and I have no issue.
I'm quality is set to auto, and turning down to 6 and under works relatively well. Might actually be 4. Working right now, so I can't get a lot more info. Is there anything I can supply in a few hours to troubleshoot this? I've been trying to figure this out for a few weeks now.
Thanks!
Edit: forgot to mention, this happens on all players. Both my pc and server are plugged in to 2.5g ethernet. On pc Firefox, and brave, on tv (ethernet) web browser, and s25Ultra all produce this problem.

Is Hardware acceleration enabled? :-)

Intel QuickSync (QSV), and also my QSV device is "/dev/dri/renderD128"
I've also set TrueNAS to use a temp folder for transcode. I've had no improvments using temp folder in RAM.

uhh... ok? Looks like its working now...? I'm so confused. Ever since I started using this I've had nothing but problems. Last night it wouldn't work... but after work when I get home and test it works....? I'll make a new post or continue this one if for some reason it acts up again....??
So confused.... cpu isn't spiking anymore... whats going on!? lol. Made me look like a fool!
