Jellyfin Media Player (Windows): Video freezes

[ramxxiii]

I was having the same issue. Apparently, for every cutscene, there is a micro freeze. It's brief and may not be noticeable for most scenes, but that extra linger on every frame before a scene change just looks very weird. I only experience this on Jellyfin (Windows client) though. No issues with Android, Android TV, iOS and even web. Also, noticed that the issue happens when I am playing back a 4K HEVC HDR video.

Anyway, your workaround definitely worked. Hopefully, this gets fixed on the next update.
