Have you checked and enabled hardware acceleration?
Support and troubleshooting steps are dependent on your GPU and OS.
Should that matter for direct play? On Plex I never used hardware acceleration and focused on my media player being able to play everything. My client is a full PC, with an Nvidia GPU on Windows. The client doesn't seem to be using it from what I can tell.
Am I misunderstanding this? Is a client setup here different from the server?
In my personal experience the jellyfin clients just aren't as good. I play my whole jellyfin library through Kodi and everything direct plays without issue.
Same here, all my 4k players run Kodi/CoreELEC with the Jellyfin plugin.
Don't like the default clients either, I use Delfin on Linux and Findroid on Android
Try jellyfin-mpv-shim. It directly uses
mpv(either a built in version or even your systemmpv) and if it doesn't play well there, it's likely not going to play well anywhere.So far this is working pretty well! Shame it's such a pain doing the extra step
What OS are you watching on? There are some third-party clients that might work better. For example, Delfin on Linux and Findroid on Android.
Windows for no, but going to switch it hopefully to chimera
You can also use jellyfin media player that uses mpv too.
What browser are you using? Is your CPU usage usually high during playback? If so your system isn't using hardware decode
