Try jellyfin-mpv-shim. It directly uses =mpv= (either a built in version or even your system =mpv=) and if it doesn’t play well there, it’s likely not going to play well anywhere.
Comment on Bad 4K Performance on Jellyfin
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 11 months agoShould 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?

So far this is working pretty well! Shame it’s such a pain doing the extra step

What browser are you using? Is your CPU usage usually high during playback? If so your system isn’t using hardware decode

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.
