Hello,
lately i noticed that on some movies jellyfin on my fire TV stick starts to stutter. Like i have a freezeframe, then a couple of seconds nothing, then a freezeframe or maybe 1 sec of movie with a freezeframe at the end , then again couple of seconds where nothing happens and so on. Audio plays fine, its only video.
I have (at least) one movie which i can play for like 30 minutes perfectly fine, then starts to stutter.
I also have another one which stutters from the beginning and cant even watch.
Both movies are 4k movies. I ran these movies with the jellyfin app on the current gen fire stick 4k (i think its even the 4k max). My server is a 13th gen intel processor with hardware transcoding, but i doubt it has anything to do with the server as my CPU usage is low the whole time. I also doubt its a server problem because when i open jellyfin over the webbrowser on my pc, i can resume the first movie fine and is playing fine and the second is also playing fine. And thats despite having to transcode on my webbrowser.
It feels like the fire stick is too weak, which i cant really believe because its made for 4k movies. Not really sure whats going on. I think about switching to a rasperry pi with kodi and then use the jellyfin app over the pi (i want to switch to a pi in the future due to other reasons, but if that would solve my stutter problem, i would just buy one sooner).
Did someone else had similar problems with the Fire Stick? Or know why some videos stutter sometime during playback or at the start of the movie?
Thanks for any help/ideas!
edit: Jellyfin Server is 10.9.1, Firestick is like i said above current gen and should have all updates.
edit2: made a update along the searching process, server is now 10.9.3
