Hi,
as the title says, when streaming to the jellyfin app an a fire TV, the video freezes every two minutes. This happens when direct streaming, so it shouldn't be a transcoding issue. Useing the website it works just fine.
Any idea how I can find out what this is?
Edit: I just noticed, when forcing transcoding by limiting the quality (Bitrate) on the client to lower values, it does not freeze...
that surely is the issue. you can convert it to mp4 with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy output.mp4
If you want to keep subtitles this will probably work:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0 -c copy -c:s mov_text output.mp4
