Large files & remuxes buffer while streaming in the same network

[TheDreadPirate]

Is Shim configured to transcode? I thought the defaults were to NOT transcode on the server.

As for SSD endurance, this isn't a concern. Even when lots of transcoding is happening. I forget what is called on Windows, but there are tools to display the S.M.A.R.T. stats of your SSD. I had an old SSD that I used to run Jellyfin on. It was my gaming desktop's primary SSD for almost 10 years, I repurposed it for my Jellyfin server, and over the 15 years I've had the SSD only 2% drive life was used.

Here are the stats for my current SSD.
