Comment on Reducing buffering when accessing Jellyfin via Tailscale
SkinList@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI believe that jellyfin has been transcoding using jellyfin-ffmpeg. I do have logs labelled “FFmpeg.Transcode-…” which seem to look fine. I have just turned on hardware acceleration though. Is that what you meant by “hardware transcoding”?
Ill check to see if the buffering is improved and will let you know how it goes! Thanks for the advice!

Yes, hardware transcoding = using hardware acceleration for decoding/re-encoding the video files. CPUs do it pretty slowly but the special decoder/encoder chips on GPUs (including integrated graphics GPUs) can handle that sort of task no sweat in most cases as long as you’ve got it preperly configured.
