Everything is served through the jellyfin server and the jellyfin server + OS handles all the behind the scences data movement before eventually sending to the client. Even direct play. As long as the throughput is sufficient, the number of hops shouldn't matter.
When accessing over mobile, is it actually direct playing or is it transcoding? What is the bit rate of the video? How fast is your home Internet upload speed?
It's doing DirectPlay. 1080p H264 SDR (21.52 Mbps). This is all over my local network. I have the mobile connected to my Wi-Fi 6 router. The router is Gb to the MoCA adaptor and the NAS. The MoCA adaptor is showing a 2Gb connection to the second MoCA adaptor. And that is connected to a Gb switch along with my MiniPC server.
Now that I know nothing is being directly accessed with the clients, I am going to do some re-routing and move the MiniPC to the NAS-side of the MoCA network to see if that cleans up the lag.
