Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I have a pretty beefy PC I use as a server and HTPC. 24 2.5ghz cores, 64gb ram, kind of a crappy video card, debian 11. I just migrated all my stuff over and stress tested it supporting 8 different transcribed streams simultaneously (mix of in/out of local). That worked great.
BUT, the video playback is choppy (as in frame skipping) and out of sync when I’m running the HTPC program. Oddly using the web client on the same machine avoids that issue.
Any thoughts? I’m wondering if it might be that it’s an older TV it’s plugged into and there’s some issue there. Thing is, like I said, the webclient its worlds better. Webclient seems to have some issues but I’m pretty sure that’s just due to the TV.
Any pointers are helpful! I’m OK at this stuff but very much learning.
If you log into the server — does it give any feedback on transcoding? Like is one playback method transcoding differently from the other?
Have you tried toggling direct play and other settings on the client?
they were indeed both direct playback, but it’s resolved(ish)! Take a look below.
