SGH

Not a lemmy user to my knowledge, but for a while I kept finding various social media accounts for a specific user.

They were (maybe still are? No clue) a very active and knowledged user of cplusplus.com, and we had some mild interactions over time.

Eventually, for some unknown reasons I got suggested its YouTube channel with some Minecraft videos, its GitHub account, and I found some comments of theirs on some Reddit threads here and there.

They now work for a software development house of a relatively obscure product that I have used before.

Yeah, I don’t think what I suggested should do anything at all in this specific case…

Can you verify if Jellyfin is remuxing without transcoding? I.e. changing container but without touching the frame/audio data.

I believe while you playback it should say in the administration panel, in the card that represents the active session you have this issue in.

Remux and transcode happen on disk, unless you manually set the temporary path to a decently sized tmpfs partition.

I solved a similar issue doing exactly what I just wrote: tmpfs (can’t recall what its name is under Docker) and set the transcoding path accordingly. I also had to tweak the transcode files’ lifetime:

• Limit trancode checked
• Remove segments checked
• Limit after: 30
• Segment lifetime: 1800

This has done wonders for me for both on-the-fly remux and transcodes, but I had to reserve a beefy tmpfs (I think I have like 8GB set right now).

Are you using the docker version or the manual installation version? (After using the manually installed version for a while, I suggest the docker one as upgrades are much less painful)
