Hello fellow selfhosters! I reformatted my USB hard drive from exFAT to XFS because I needed a filesystem that could handle hardlinks. I remounted the hard drive and now jellyfin webUI has a severe stuttering problem on some videos, all of them are MKV but it may be a coincidence. On android (using exoplayer) the same files works smoothly. what could be the problem?
in the logs I get a bunch of Slow HTTP Response from http://fedoraserver:8096/ to 192.168.1.30 in 0:00:07.4635856 with Status Code 200

OT: while looking at the logs this happened

SOLUTION: I enabled hardware acceleration, and manually selected also the HEVC and Allow encoding in HEVC format settings, and now the stutter disappeared! thanks to everyone for your help!!!

    You can also use something like handbrake to convert everything to 264 instead of redownloading everything. You can also set it up to convert after items are downloaded.

        Yes, but if the server isn’t fast enough to do it, then you’re going to have a bad time.

        It can but it’s the server hardware that decides your performance, you can just avoid transcoder on the fly and have h264 mp4 and can run JF on a toaster smoothly.
