So I run Jellyfin on Unraid, and having jellyfin serve files on the array...well it's not fast. it gets stuck at 33% for a bit and it's like loading up a game on a PS1. So what I've been doing is copying episodes of a show we are watching to the cache drive and it makes a difference.
So here is my idea, what if when Jellyfin is buffered ahead, it removes a previous episode off the cache drive and copies the next one (the one after the one you are watching) to the cache, leveraging the speed of the SSD to improve playback. To save space on the SSD, we can limit it to a certain about of series or files.
Yea, it won't do the SSD any favors when it comes to reads and writes though.
