Stuttering when remuxing

[TheDreadPirate]

Are all your clients going through a reverse proxy?

[bobnahara]

No reverse proxy.

Have determined its a codec issue with browsers. Don't know why I didn't try this in the beginning = just opened the video file directly with chrome/firefox - same issues.
The issue is that I'm using sonarr/radarr and this is stuff that came in with them. Seemingly a lot of dropout content for some reason.
Is there a way to just say no remuxing - if you cant direct play transcode the damn thing.

Tried updating the user permissions but that didnt seem to work.

If that is the problem you just pre-trancode it as it is currently the only way to workaround this.

[bobnahara]

Can you give more detail on pre-transcode?

[TheDreadPirate]

You can use Tdarr to automate pre-transcoding everything.

Jellyfin will remux or transcode when the client needs it. There are edge cases where it does either needlessly (misconfigured profile), but most of the time remuxes and transcodes happen because they need to.

I had not heard of Tdarr. Thanks!
