Basic Rundown:
I have tried a couple of things, including updating Jellyfin, so I had this problem on an older version (I honestly can't remember which, but I try to stay relatively up to date).
I have also noticed that FFmpeg creates a task successfully that I can see in intel_gpu_top, but that task does not use resources until playback begins, a couple of minutes after clicking play.
Looking at the logs, I cannot see anything obvious.
The delay is long enough that I can't really use the integrated native player in the Android Jellyfin app. It times out before transcoding actually begins. Though, I did get it to connect once, and transcoding performance seemed unusually slow (below the framerate of the media itself) in the web player, it seems fine.
I am playing back hand ripped and H265 encoded video files from Blu-Ray and 4K-UHD discs.
Let me know if there is anything I didn't include, this has me stumped.

- Jellyfin 10.9.10
- In a hand rolled Debian bookworm LXC container on Proxmox, using Intel QuickSync for hardware acceleration.
- In a ThinkStation P330 with an i7 8700t.
- Recently, any video file that requires transcoding takes several minutes to actually start playback.
- I would expect Jellyfin to begin playback in a couple of seconds at most. Direct playback works as expected. Anything requiring transcoding does not.
- The Web UI player on Firefox and Android. The native player in the Jellyfin Android app.
