  Uplink is exactly the problem. Not sure why you think otherwise. The internet doesn’t work by multicast.

    Maybe we don’t talk about the same. The uplink at his router isn’t the problem, there is enough upload speed so that others in Europe can stream. Users in Asia don’t have enough bandwidth, so there’s a bottleneck somewhere in between.

    And yes, a VPN could help by routing the traffic through other hops, but chances are that it doesn’t help or even make it worse, but it’s worth trying.

      It’s probably not bandwidth but latency and packet loss that’s the problem.

        Latency shouldn’t be a big problem if it doesn’t have massive spikes. Packet loss could be a problem, seems like Jellyfin doesn’t have an option zu increase the buffer size which may help. Or the problem is in combination with transcoding.

      Bandwidth does not degrade over distance. That’s not how that works…

      Again, I’m confused on what you’re suggesting the actual issue is here.

        If the uplink bandwidth is more than sufficient for users in Europe, and it doesn’t degrade over distance, then why is the same uplink not enough for the exact same thing in Asia?

        Exactly, bandwidth doesn’t degrade over distance, so why would the uplibk bandwidth be the issue for Asia when its fine for Europe.

        Ok you’re almost there. It is plenty fast for people in Europe but it is slow for those in Asia. So bandwidth is not the issue
