>which client device are you using? Transcoding occurs on server side if client can not play your video/audio directly.
One is a google chromecast connected to a tv, another is my gaming PC, another is my iPad, and one last one that rarely is used is a laptop.
>I'm assuming that the specs you listed are for the laptop, based on the H class CPU. If so, your laptop specs are more than capable of transcoding. I used to run Jellyfin on a lot less.
I second Serge's question about the clients. The logs you attached look fine, though I question why one ffmpeg log says it is transcoding video while another isn't. And both appear to have been played in Firefox.
If your laptop has an Ethernet connection, I would experiment with verifying that WiFi consistency issues aren't the cause.
I also have to ask if you followed our Intel hardware acceleration guide. There are a couple extra steps you need to take on Windows to properly set it up.

It is actually a miniPC I bought on Amazon. But yes like I mentioned I used quite a few clients and all of the experience the same intermitant issues. Sometimes my gf will tell me she was able to bing watch 10 episodes of an anime on her chromecast then try to watch a movie and see serious buffering issues. As for Ethernet/WiFi I acutally used to use ethernet on my old server, then moved to WiFi since my chipset isnt able to go any higher than 100mbps. However the issue was there when I had ethernet so I doubt thats it.
Thanks for that guide, its a new one to the ones I have tried so I will go ahead and make the requisite changes and see if that helps at all. Appreciate all the answers
