Hi,
I'm trying to reach out to the community about this problem I've been facing for quite a while.
My Setup:
- jellyfin LXC running on proxmox
- Setup was done via helper-scripts
- Another VM exposes a shared folder via SMB to proxmox root which then mounts it as /media inside lxc
The Problem:
When I'm playing a video, and it's playing as "Direct Play" (as seen from playback info), the jellyfin web client will not buffer ahead. I don't see that little white progress bar which indicates that the video has been loaded until that point.
When a video is being transcoded, it does buffer ahead and I can easily move my video within the area of the white progress bar and play the video without any delay.
My direct streams will often stop, buffer and start playing again. I feel the reason for this is this "pre-loading" not happening as it happens for transcoded streams.
Is anyone else facing the issue, or can help me debug it ? I see no notable things in the log to indicate some sort of failure.
