Just about all streaming services/platforms (commercial or self-hosted) only buffer 30 to 60-ish seconds or content most of the time. Why transfer the entire video when there is no guarantee that you will watch the entire video in one sitting? Sure, its fine on local networks. But what if you were not at home, or on mobile, or were hosting on a VPS?
Other than bit rate limiting for remote connections, Jellyfin does not treat local vs remote clients differently in terms of buffering.
