Jellyfin Skipping Playback

[Phantom775]

Hi there!
I've been utilizing jellyfin for a couple months, and a common issue i'm running into is that sometimes, the video will just skip ahead. for example, if i'm 1:00:00 into a movie, suddenly, it starts playing 1:05:00, but it still says i'm at 1:00:00. fast forwarding or rewinding provides mixed results, but i can never get the time between. Whenever i playback my movie in VLC, it plays just fine.

If there's any additional info i can provide, logs, etc- please let me know
(also let me know if there's any info such as IPs in the logs i need to redact, thank you!)

VLC is not a good player to compare against since VLC will often play to some degree straight up corrupt files.

Your video is likely corrupt or malformed in some way. We can try remuxing the file to regenerate the container, which is often enough to fix this issue.

Code:

ffmpeg -fflags +genpts+igndts -i "/path/to/video.mkv" -map 0 -codec copy -max_muxing_queue_size 2048 -max_interleave_delta 0 -avoid_negative_ts disabled newFile.mkv
