Hello, please any news for this issue? Having probably the same behavior under new Fire Stick 4k Max 6E client 0.17.9 and also under newest 0.18.0 from GitHub. Many high quality movies starting in Direct Play mode (as per server Dashboard), sound is working fine, while whole TV screen is orange/red without any progress bar and play/fwd/rev buttons. I can only return back to Jellyfin library.
When I set Max bitrate down to force transcode, it starts to work ok. But of course lower quality + unnecessary transcoding for many other high quality/bitrate movies having no issues.
Will be happy to run all media with unlimited bitrate (set to 200m as highest value now), same as I used to under Windows client and also Android client.
Or please is there anything like "best client" for TV?
I was thinking about some miniPC with Windows and connect TV via HDMI, still I gave a try to stick - newest Fire Stick 4k Max 6E.
Server running fine under 10.10.3 so far.
Thank you for your recommendation/hint/help.
Was also thinking about Zidoo Z9X8K, but how can I make sure if there could be same issue as with Fire Stick. Assuming it uses same client, although read somewhere Zidoo working on "their own client"... This can be both positive (I will be able to play everything fine directly without transcoding need), or negative (Zidoo could anytime abandon the client development and I will stay with expensive useless "brick").
Will be happy to know the best client with brightest future as I am very happy with server side and also native Windows and Android apps fine so far.
Also having here old Chromecast 4k Ethernet (black one) but as far as I found Jellyfin client can only run under new Chromecast 4k with Google TV if I am correct. Not sure if upgrade here could help me a lot. Also dislike the 100mbit fast ethernet only although having wifi 7 and 6 at home. I would like to run as much as possible via cables (10Gbit home network) to free up wifi for mobile devices to gain multigigs without overloaded APs with many unnecessary clients.
Happy for your thoughts.
Thanks a lot.
