All the jitter you are experiencing is probably frame pacing issues due to the software decoding and other processes competing for limited resources. As video resolution and codec computational requirements increased so did the importance of hardware acceleration.
I've mentioned this in the JF Matrix chat, but I will mention it here again. The key to a smooth JF experience is to
1. Know what server and playback hardware you have
2. Know what your server and playback hardware is capable of
3. Know your media library
When your library (mainly videos codecs) lines up with what your server GPU hardware can decode you will have a smooth transcode experience. When your library lines up with what your playback hardware can decode you will have a smooth direct play experience.
I do have a smooth playback experience. I have 100% smooth and perfect playback experience. I have smooth playback in MPV.
MPV works perfectly for me.
I am posting in the Jellyfin forum to find out what is wrong with Jellyfin, because I am experiencing judder ONLY in Jellyfin.
My HTPC is not even breaking 15% CPU use when decoding these files.
Thanks for your help.
