stalling on video playback

[IllSkillz]

My jellyfin web player is stalling when playing video and can stuck completely. I have to go to the beginning of the video for player to start play again. sometimes it stucks when i moving on a timeline. its a specially pronoun with AVC video. with AVC even the timeline itself is out of sync on the movie, i can be on a 1/10 on the timeline but it would play the end of the movie.
Im on latest TrueNas scale app, with 2060 gpu for transcoding

Can you share your jellyfin and ffmpeg logs with us?

Remove any WAN IPs then upload them to https://sourceb.in/

[IllSkillz]

Sure but heres a lot of files for ffmpeg logs. I shared some of them at random

What kind of files are these? There aren't any file extensions and I see logs about playlists?

[IllSkillz]

First link is a general log. and all others are ffmpeg log

[TheDreadPirate]

I mean the files you are trying to play. Like

/media/!Film/!Toon/BOLT

and

/media/!Film/!Toon/Zootopia.2016.1080p.BluRay.AVC.DTS-HD.MA.7.1-RARBG

There aren't any file extensions. And then I see these messages in the ffmpeg log.

Code:

bdj.c:750: BD-J check: Failed to load JVM library
bdj.c:750: BD-J check: Failed to load JVM library
[bluray @ 0x55c91b342840] 21 usable playlists:
[bluray @ 0x55c91b342840] playlist 00105.mpls (0:04:34)
[bluray @ 0x55c91b342840] playlist 00003.mpls (1:36:21)
[bluray @ 0x55c91b342840] playlist 01095.mpls (0:04:00)
...

Are these bluray ISOs?

[Deleted User]

just to add an observation -

they are indicative of an extracted BluRay ISO so you would find that /media/!Film/!Toon/BOLT is a folder containing a BluRay structure, BDMV etc.

[IllSkillz]

Yes, those are blueray discs

You're also getting fun errors like:

Code:

Error while decoding stream #0:1: Invalid argument

(Found in https://sourceb.in/bW9sxEDd62)

And:

Code:

[libfdk_aac @ 0x56136c452ec0] Trying to remove 1024 samples, but the queue is empty

(Found in https://sourceb.in/Rxo3NO5pgz, repeats twice before ffmpeg exits)

That same error repeats in other logs (ex.: https://sourceb.in/xMurLamRvv), which finish like this:

Code:

video:0kB audio:2kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: unknown

This looks like a failure to transcode the audio in each case. Bluray discs should be supported depending on hardware, but this is a failure to transcode DTS Master Audio 7.1 to AAC stereo. Dunno why, there aren't any errors output in the ffmpeg logs. Have you tried a different audio selection to see if this same behavior occurs? Ensured you're connected via ethernet if possible (doesn't seem to be network related, but who knows?).

To be clear, these are not AVC, these are BDMV (which is...MPEG_TS? Some form of MPEG...), which is a different beast entirely. You'd have a better experience if you went with a remux for a number of reasons, but some folks like menus and artwork and all that I guess.

[IllSkillz]

I dont think that changing audio track will resolve unsynced timeslider but i'll try. jellyfin reporting those videos to be AVC. And i even dont get any menus so i guess ill go with remuxes instead
