Frequent Stuttering/No Video

[TheDreadPirate]

No idea. What kind of subtitles are they? PGS? SRT? ASS? DVDSUB?

Looks like they are all PGSSUB. Attached is a pic of what they look like.

What client is this? And does it only happen with this client?

I don't remember which device it is anymore, it was either my S22 Ultra or Pixel 8 Pro, but it is happening on all devices including my Nvidia Shield Android TV.

I did happen to try a different movie and the fonts looked fine, but was also PGSSUB. Is it how it is formatted per movie?

I recall seeing an issue where Jellyfin (or the backend media player) didn't correctly apply a transparency, but that was with ASS subs. But it could be the same underlying issue.

It may be worth testing if this problem exists with this particular movie with unstable. Since you are already running docker, make a second docker container with identical parameters but a different config path and using the "unstable" tag instead of "latest".

Same issue in unstable with a new config and cache.

Try Jellyfin Media Player and see if the transparency issue also happens there. Regardless, submit an issue on the Jellyfin git and provide as much info as you can. Mainly the media info and ffmpeg logs.

Definitely a strange issue.

Decided to test in the Web Player, where it behaved normally which is weird. I have created a ticket on the github.
