Hello there,
I am currently migrating from Plex to Jellyfin and tried to query the forum to find a answer for my question which I didn't.
Just installed Jellyfin on my Android TV and saw that there is no option to set an unlimited bandwith (200 Mbit is maximum).
On my server tab I see that it's currently being direct streamed.
My setup would be:
Docker deployment within VM (16 cores & 8 GB RAM), Nvidia A4000.
I am using a reverse proxy for TLS termination.
Networkwise my Docker and reverse proxy are using a 10 Gigabit connection (which is 40 Gigabit connection from hypervisor to switch).
The connection continues over a router to an edge switch - again all 10 Gigabit. From the edge switch to Nvidia shield I am using 1 Gbit.
On Plex I was able to stream uncompressed 4K videos over this setup. It saturated the Nvidia 1 Gbit link but without buffering or any other hick ups.
At Jellyfins admin section I have added all RFC1918 networks to be treated as LAN.
How can I determine if Jellyfin will always use direct streaming instead of converting it to a lower bitrate?
