I have the exact same issue. I recently built a new server and my media was playing perfectly fine on my old build, just 1 week ago. I am not sure if the Jellyfin versions were the exact same on both systems. Everything runs very smoothly on Firefox where it basically transcodes all the time, but Microsoft Edge and Jellyfin Media Player are a huge mess because of direct playing. My currently server version is 10.10.3 and I am using the latest version for Jellyfin Media Player, even though this shouldn't be the source of the problem I am having issues when direct playing on Microsoft Edge as well.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the media sometimes takes a minute to load and then runs just fine, sometimes less, sometimes it just won't. I am having a hard time figuring out a pattern.
Edit2: After further testing, it seems that the media player is able to skip forward for small amounts only. If I tried to leap forward for more than 20 or so seconds, the cursor goes back to where it originally was. I tried playing some files on VLC through an SMB share on Windows and I didn't notice any playback issue whatsoever with this method.
