jellyfin + Xbox One playback issues
jellyfin + Xbox One playback issues
I've set up a jellyfin server on a Windows desktop machine (yeah I know, not the best option). I think hardware server side is more than sufficient with i7 4790 3.6ghz, 3060ti, 32gb ram. For client I'm using Xbox One x with jellyfin client. The server is currently connected via WiFi. I'm getting playback stuttering after about 20 min or so of playback. I'm hoping to get some guidance for transcoding settings and general setup help.
I don't think it's simply wifi causing the issue as the playback bar on Xbox shows the video is buffered for several minutes ahead of playback location.
Where are the movies stored? If it's a hard disc drive maybe it's spinning down after 20 minutes?
You can change this setting in power options.The default is 20 mins, so I think this is your problem: https://www.itsupportguides.com/knowledge-base/windows-10/windows-10-how-to-control-hard-drive-power-down/
I had similar problem years ago, not with jellyfin, but it was on a linux server. On linux you can change this behaviour with
hdparmIt is a hard disc, do they spin down even if you're streaming from them? I thought maybe beginning of stream would lag if they were spun down but didn't consider they might do it later on. Thanks I'll check that
I don't know id it's your problem, but worth a try. If it's not, at least you can rule that out.
First time I'm hearing there is a Xbox Jellyfin client.
I think they had it then discontinued it and now it's back?

Seems pretty discontinued to me
It's basically a web wrapper for the web client
