I'm fairly new to the NAS/Homelab/Server thing - but I think I managed to get the Jellyfin(10.9.11) docker container on Ubuntu 24.04 running with gpu passthrough and hardware acceleration enabled.
It is working correctly, I think (I can see in the logs when things get transcoded)
A problem I have is that when I'm skipping through a movie, there is a lot of buffering happening before the playback continues which I don't have when I'm playing the same file from the smb share with vlc player.
I checked my cpu(i3-7100), or ram(8gb) usage but it looks fine to me.
Most of my media are blu ray remuxes and according to jellyfin logs only the 5.1 dts audio has to be transcoded. But I even checked with stereo sound only, so it's direct play and the buffering times don't improve.
Since it's not buffering when directly played over network with VLC, I guess it's not network or HDD reading speed issues.
I noticed it because often times the "continue" feature didn`t keep the right time, so I had to manually search and had to deal with 3-5 seconds buffering on every step until I found the right scene.
It's worse on the IOS apps, than in the browser, but still compared to direct play from the smb share it's not a very good performance.
Any ideas what I can do? It would be a huge QoL improvement.
