Hi! I'm new to the whole self-hosting hobby and I've set up a Jellyfin server on my Windows 10 PC to stream to my LG tv.
Everything has gone smoothly for the last two months or so until a couple of days ago when I noticed videos started to lag/freeze during playback on my TV.
I noticed it when I tried to play episode 8 of a show so at first I thought something was wrong with that episode but now when I go back and watch earlier episodes which ran fine just a week ago they start to lag now too.
When I say lag I mean they play for a couple of seconds (5-10) then freeze for a couple of seconds (1-5) then repeat. This didnt happen earlier and I'm not sure what's changed.
I've double checked that nothing thats network or harddrive intensive, like steam or backblaze, is running when I try to play these files on the TV.
I checked with the TVs webbrowser that I have enough bandwidth and it measured 94mbit/s down and 95mbit/s up (with 2.7ms latency if that matters), I run an ethernet cable to the TV to make sure the WIFI signal isnt the issue.
I've enabled debugging on my server and here is the log on pastebin.
I started the server, connected with my TV, navigated to "Perfect Planet Episode 1 Volcano" (row 1410), let it play for a bit, confirmed the lag/freezes then turned the client off, then closed the server.
Jellyfin version: 10.10.3
Windows: 19045.5487
LG G4 WebOS: 23.20.44
PC Hardware:
GPU: 3080
CPU: 5950X
Jellyfin Harddrive: 4tb Western Digital "WD4005FZBX"
If there is anything else I can provide to to help?
