Jellyfin is running impossibly slow on my NAS. It takes minutes to open the home page or to go through the dashboard. I've even had it take an hour to open while the scan was happening. I am wondering if there might be some settings I can change that might improve performance. The resources app on the synology is showing everything is waiting on IO. Memory usage is 50%, and the CPU is idling.
The resources I've found, including on this forum, are all about running synology inside a container, but there's a jellyfin community package now available that I'm using, so it's running directly on Synology.
I've just tried installing jellyfin onto my pi4 using the NAS as a network drive, and performance there is plenty fast.
I'm using the Synology DS220j. It's not a strong machine, but it's not doing anything else. Videostation was retired in the latest version, so that's been uninstalled and I've been looking for a replacement.
To save people searching, these are the specs of the 220j:
CPU: Realtek RTD1296 4-core 1.4 GHz
Memory: 512 MB DDR4
Drives: 2x SATA running in mirror RAID
It is running 10.10.1-19
Are there some settings I can try, or is the DS220j simply too underpowered for jellyfin? I'm quite surprised at the vast performance difference between the synology and pi 4, and I'm not talking about playing videos. Just opening the page and looking at the dashboard to configure it.
I could understand there being some speed difference, but the pi4 opens in <1s while Synology is taking minutes.
