Short answer, maybe? But it would have to be somewhere Jellyfin's library is directed at. I also think it would have to direct play since ffmpeg would read ahead for transcoding, even with transcode throttling. And I don't know how ffmpeg/jellyfin will behave if it reaches the end of the file.

Jellyfin 10.10.3 (Docker)
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Intel i3 12100
Intel Arc A380
OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
Storage
3x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1 (JF Library)
