transcoding latency

[ced]

Hello,

I have a problem with the Android TV client, when I activate the force in Audio 2.1, the movie startup time is long, between 20 and 30 seconds, I have to start playback, go back, then restart playback and wait.
Thank you for your help.

Can you share your jellyfin logs via privatebin.net?

And what are your server specs and operating system?

Jellyfin is attempting to extract the subtitle track but it is taking a long time. Is your E drive a local disk or network share?

You can try installing the "Subtitle Extract" plugin. Then restart Jellyfin and run the task for this plugin. Dashboard > Scheduled Tasks > Subtitle Extract. This will pre-extract subtitles instead of on-the-fly.

However, typically on-the-fly extraction should only take a couple seconds.

the E drive is a USB disk plugged into the computer where Jellyfin is installed

is it possible not to extract the subtitles?

why does it try to extract the subtitles, since I already have the subtitles in the translated file?

[TheDreadPirate]

Some clients cannot use subtitles embedded in the file so Jellyfin will extract them on-the-fly to send as a separate stream.

I recommend using the Subtitle Extract plugin as I described.

Okay, I've activated the subtitle extract plugin
