4K over my network is a dumpster fire. It freezes/lags/stutters every 5-10 seconds, comes back after a couple seconds, repeat.
My current setup is Jellyfin, using Infuse on a 1st gen 4k apple tv. FWIW, the results are the same with Jellyfin's AppleTV app.
My server's stats:
Ryzen 7 2700X 8 core 3.70ghz cpu
64 GB ram
Windows 10
GTX 1070
Jellyfin version 10.8.10 (non-portable install)
I have Google Fiber, 1 gb up/1 gb down. My wifi network is using Google's Wifi mesh pucks, 6 placed around the house. Speedtest via ethernet is a true 1gb up/down. Speedtest via wifi is around half that.
I've tested on 4 different setups I have throughout my home. They're all using Apple TVs (same gen), with vastly different displays, but the results are always the same: 4k stutters and dies, everything else is perfect.
Jellyfin's dashboard says its all direct play (I've been checking as I troubleshoot). But looking at the logs, I see the word "transcodes" everywhere. I don't know. I'm a stranger in a strange land. Log attached.
I also realize the possibility that not all encodes are created equal. I've been randomly choosing 4k movies. No change.
I have a strong suspicion that its user error. What am I missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
