Increase Buffer Size of Jellyfin-Web

[Sapd]

Hello,

I wanted to ask if someone knows a way to increase the amount the clients (in Jellyfin Web) are pre-loading when watching something (maybe by modifying some parameter in the jellyfin-web source?).
I am not talking about transcoding (it affects transcoding and direct play in the same way).

Reason is, that I want to trade-off consuming more traffic for a more stable experience. So that even when you are on a mobile connection or unstable Internet, that it will buffer around 3 minutes - maybe even more. So a downtime of around that time should not affect playability.

Here in 10.8?

Here in unstable?

Thank you for the pointer.

I just found it in the bundle like this:

Code:

[color=#000000]Hls({manifestLoadingTimeOut:2e4,maxBufferLength:s,xhrSetup:function(e){[/color]
[color=#000000]

[/color]
So I should be able to overwrite it with a simple regex and NGINX replace module.

Do you know by change if it affects only HLS playback or also direct play?

No idea. I'm not a dev.

For someone searching:
I experimented a bit and this seems to increase it (however the browser will still limit it). The Browser cache has to be deleted for an effect:

Code:

location ~ ^/web/htmlVideoPlayer-plugin.[0-9a-z]+.chunk.js$ {
        proxy_pass http://jellyfin;
        proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
        sub_filter_types *;
        sub_filter 'return s=30' 'return s=600';
        sub_filter 'maxBufferLength:s' 'maxBufferLength:s,maxBufferSize:180000000';
        sub_filter_once on;
    }
