Hi,
i have a Jellyfin Server on my Windows PC. When i want to watch Content on that PC i noticed that watching through the Jellyfin Media Player doesnt feel nearly as responsive as using MPV Shim. MPV Shim is basically as fast as just opening the Movie with a Video Player like MPV or VLC.
What i mean by responsive is, that skipping forward or backwards feels a bit sluggish on the Media Player, while in MPV Shim it skips instantly.
So i checked the GPU usage in the Task Manager and noticed that there is a bit Encoding usage (10-15%) while watching a movie in the Media Player. When watching through the Jellyfin Fin it stays at 0%.
Could this cause this sluggishness?
And im wondering why there is any Encoding at all when it says "Direct Playing" in the Info.
