I continued to have random glitches with Jelly-fin, slow to start, sudden stoppages, video and audio out of sync etc, never had any errors in the log. Regular streaming services generally worked OK-ish,
My son had poor WIFI in his room so I relocated the access point to the main level ceiling from the basement where my office, the server and in main internet connection are,
Jellyfin has been rock solid ever since I relocated the AP.
I think the difference between Jellyfin and streaming services is Jellyfin is delivering better video quality and it was too much bandwidth for the marginal WIFI reception before at the TV. But the difference made me think this was a Jellyfin problem not a WIFI problem.
We are new to this home, and took a downgrade in internet connectivity when we moved, I had attributed a lot of issues to the internet connection that turned out to be the local WIFI and its weak reception. with better wifi reception it has at least been stable and stability seems to be the bigger factors for usability than raw bandwidth.
