Jellyfin Client Randomly Dropping

[guyvia]

Hi-

I'm new to Jellyfin and looking to figure out why my wife's Chromebook will randomly cut out when watching a movie. I know that none of the hardware here is at all ideal, but its what I had on hand when my wife asked me to find Swedish dubs of Disney movies for our daughter to get more bilingual reinforcement.

The server (aka Dad's mini pc he only really wanted to play DnD on)
AMD Ryzen™ 7 3750H with Radeon™ Vega Mobile Gfx × 8
32GB ram
1tb nvme ssd
Ubuntu 24.10
Jellyfin 10.10.3 installed via flatpak

The client (chromebook Asus CX3)
Intel® Core™ i5-1130G7 Processor 1.1 GHz (cpu monkey says it should be able to decode most anything)
Jellyfin client installed from play store

The Movie (no accounting for taste here)
Video
Title: GalaxyRG - Meg.2.The.Trench.2023.1080p.AMZN.WEBRip.1400MB.DD5.1.x264-GalaxyRG - H264 - SDR

I dont think my pc should have to transcode anything, since her chipset should be able to handle that, but i would hear my fan kick up when she was watching a movie.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

IMO, you'd be better off just using a browser in ChromeOS vs using the Android client. Give that a try.
