Good day all. I am a long time Plex user and I have taken Jellyfin for a spin a few times and I am here doing it again.
It works really well overall except it does not support my Hauppauge tuner.
But I have an issue I cannot solve. And I will be honest and say that I have the same issue in Plex and this blows my mind.
Here is the environment:
- Running on dedicated hardware
- GPU transcoder (Nvidia 4060)
- media library is on a NAS via SMB
- Windows 11 Pro
- Jellyfin version 10.9.10
- Clients in question, Jellyfin app on Roku
When I play a movie the server will play it but the network usage goes insane, well over 1GB as if it is raw transferring the entire file. While this happens memory usage quickly increases and within 30-60sec the system runs out of memory and crashes.
This happens with even direct play while nothing is being transcoded. If I use a test library on a local drive this does not happen. If I transfer a file from the NAS to the server just via typical means, no problem.
If someone were telling me this, this is the point where I would tell them their Windows install has an issue or maybe their hardware. However, this is now the case through 2 sets of hardware. This issue is so pervasive I rebuilt the entire thing from scratch. The issue remains.
Now here is the spicy part. If I play a file from my web browser. Entirely fine, NIC and RAM usage are normal. It seems to be the case it's only on the Roku client. And as I mentioned this is the case for JellyFin and Plex apps on Roku.
I am an old tech guy and this makes me insane. Just really looking for ideas. Thanks
