    Direct play on TV takes several minutes to start

    Direct play of H264 takes forever on my TV to start, while it starts instantly on my computer.

    First, thank you for helping.

    I'm not really sure how to share things privately using privatebin, but I don't think there is anything private in my logfile anyway, so here is a link to the logfile:
    https://privatebin.net/?26bf089d35110843...ZmKooTrYXH
    During this time period I was attempting to watch an episode of solo leveling on my TV and on my computer, and it would load instantly on my PC while taking several minutes to start on my TV.
    I can generate another cleaner and more isolated log once I am home at my TV again.

    Regarding my server specs:
    I am running jellyfin on my Truenas scale server version ElectricEel-24.10.2
    The server is running jellyfin through docker and has hardware acceleration passthrough.
    I have attached the docker compose for the jellyfin container:
    jellyfin:
    image: linuxserver/jellyfin:10.10.4ubu2404-ls47@sha256:874f2e88485807a6b2f43a93a45f1a2007ba04006e9a96afb80ba15a95eafbb1
    container_name: jellyfin
    hostname: jellyfin
    environment:
    - PUID=${PUID}
    - PGID=${PGID}
    - TZ=${TZ}
    volumes:
    - ${SSD_DATA_PATH}/jellyfin/configConfused-faceconfig
    - ${NAS_DATA_PATH}/mediaConfused-facedata/media # location of media and qbittorrent download folder
    - ${SSD_TMP_PATH}/jellyfin/transcodingConfused-faceconfig/cache # location for transcoding
    devices:
    - /dev/driConfused-facedev/dri # Video acc
    expose:
    - ${PORT_JELLYFIN}/tcp # http web ui
    ports:
    - ${PORT_JELLYFIN}:8096/tcp # http web ui
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
    - proxy
    labels:
    - "traefik.enable=true"
    - "traefik.docker.network=proxy"
    - "traefik.http.routers.jellyfin.rule=Host(jellyfin.${DOMAIN}) || Host(tv.${DOMAIN})"
    - "traefik.http.routers.jellyfin.entrypoints=https"
    - "traefik.http.routers.jellyfin.tls=true"
    - "traefik.http.services.jellyfin.loadbalancer.server.port=8096"



    The actual hardware specs are:
    N100 CPU
    32 GB RAM
    SSD disk for transcoding, configs, but all movies/series exist on HDD
    All drivers have lots of free space still.


    When I was running these tests yesterday the CPU utilization on my server was very low (which I guess is expected since it was direct play, and the server wasn't doing much else at that time).

    Please let me know if I forgot anything.
