Having issues skipping forward - Tortillas - 2023-12-17
Sometimes, when using the seek bar, it just seems to not work. For example, if I try to skip forward from the beginning of a movie to somewhere an hour in, it just teleports me right back to where I was. It seems to instead be skipping forward a few seconds every time I try. This is very annoying, and I have no clue how to fix it. Even worse, it's intermittent. How would I go about fixing this?

What is the container type? MKV?
RE: Having issues skipping forward - Tortillas - 2023-12-17
The one that most recently did this is mp4. It is 1080p, if that matters. I don't remember what else did it enough to tell you the format of the others, I'm sorry.

Is the video transcoding?
RE: Having issues skipping forward - Tortillas - 2023-12-18
Tried swapping from direct to transcoded and in very low bitrate, and it did the same thing unfortunately. I have had some issues with plex get solved with transcoding as well and figured it might fix it when that happened, but it didn't

I should note that I have only seen this happen on windows so far, on the website and in the app.
RE: Having issues skipping forward - Tortillas - 2023-12-27
It is happening again, but interestingly enough only when it is transcoded. Any fix for this would be very appreciated. Using jellyfin latest.
Edit: I went to the windows app version after skipping to the segment, and it allowed me to skip while transcoded. Odd and inconsistent, unfortunately.

What are your server specs?
