Hi [username],
I noticed that you’re using a Mi Box S (3rd generation) together with a Synology DS218+ running Jellyfin in a container. I saw in your post that you managed to solve playback issues with this setup.
I’m facing the same problem: videos play fine on my WebOS TV and even on my older Mi Box (2nd gen), but the 3rd gen Mi Box struggles. With the internal Jellyfin player I get lag or playback failure. Using external players, VLC doesn’t work (it used to on the 2nd gen Mi Box), but Nova Video Player does. Strangely enough, playback through a web browser works without issues.
Could you please share how you solved it on your side? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
