I'll try it tonight with manually allocating High CPU and 2Gb of RAM. I had thought with direct play it did not need much (indeed container resource monitor shows only about 3% cpu during playback); but maybe these occasional glitches I get will go away with forced higher resources. Do we know if the server buffers much data for the direct play stream it provides ? I am assuming it is doing something to provide the http steam...
I have exhausted every option to try... nothing helped. Increasing ram allocation did not help.
So I still think a true Direct play option that would just pass the actual network share path to the external player would be a great idea, and a huge benefit to me. I just cannot play higher bit rate movies using Jellyfin from my external shares without interruptions. So annoying!
Developers, please strongly consider adding this feature; it looks like that was always the intent anyway.
