First of all I like Jellyfin, it have nice interface, remembers where I finished watching movies well etc.
But the most basic thing for a media server - playing media is often broken.
1) Often files will fail to play several times, before they will actually play. I need to try to play them 3-4 times and eventually it will play the movie.
2) Often I will get a "Playback Error, Retrying" and it will never start playing. The log file is so long I can't attach it here. The only "error" I found in log is this:
[2023-08-26 21:18:49.491 +08:00] [ERR] [44] Jellyfin.Server.Middleware.ExceptionMiddleware: Error processing request: "A task was canceled". URL "GET" "/videos/2fe74bf6-aa8e-350e-a82d-70cedb720c5b/hls1/main/0.ts".
3) Anime files will take forever to start. Around 15-25 seconds to start playing.
4) Turing on subtitles on a movie is a nightmare. It will often have some error and I need to retry 10x times before subtitles will be shown properly. (That does not happen on Anime, only on regular movies)
None of those issues exist in VLC player. I watch movies there via DLNA server and it "just works". I know that is a totally different principle then Jellyfin media server, but if not for VLC, my last movie night would be ruined,
Can someone assist me in solving all my issues and have a fully working and 100% dependable Jellyfin server?
