Implement true 'Direct Play' when using 'External Player' to reduce network routing

[zaudio]

sounds like an improvement, newer version smb, less in the chain, reduced ram usage, more stability

a single frame skip could be just about anything and so very hard to track down


as far as on startup commands, i am not sure how synology does things for docker but docker has ENTRYPOINT and CMD definitions for startup

my jf docker does not have an existing CMD so it would be an additional
ENTRYPOINT is set to run /init, checking that file it calls another

any one of those could get you a way to mount on startup

Yes, I've ready about ENTRYPOINT and CMD... but no clue yet how and where to use those. If I export my container's settings, there is a "cmd" : "" row in the key value pairs list... I tried putting mount -a in there but it just crashed the container on startup. And on that, advice to anyone reading this: DO NOT ENABLE AUTO RESTART on your container when mucking with it! That can be hard to recover from if it crashes on start!
Starting and stopping containers is all handled in the gui... but there may be a way to do it with task scheduler when the entire device reboots, which would be sufficient as long as the JF container keeps running.
One opther ting I forgot to mention is I'm having to run it --privileged to be able to do those mounts.... I tried adding the recommended capabilities that got me past missing capability messages, but without --privileged I just get 'permission denied'.... I have read about adding --security-opt apparmor:unconfined that might help with this, but could not get that to work using my export/import settings method to change stuff... perhaps again if I start the container using the task scheduler and a docker command I can add that??? I just wanted to test out the performance of different mount points to see if they even help before getting bogged down in improving the setup.
As it is, on upgrading my JF container I may have to redo the additional setup... unless I can just use an apt update and install to do it?

Are you videos H265 in mp4 containers?

for 4k UHD they are H265 or HEVC in mkv containers
