I haven't had issues this bad, but Plex has been buffering a lot more lately. If moving to Jellyfin didn't involve new hardware for me, I would have already jumped ship.
Why would Jellyfin need new hardware?
I run plex on a synology nas whose kernel is too out of date for hardware accelerated transcoding in Jellyfin.
I recently went from synology video to Jellyfin cause the last update on synology dont support the video hosting anymore. I run a syn 920. And its sweet only issue so far have been able to use jellyfin to cast to Chromecast.
It's been about a year since I tried it, so it's probably worth another. Back then it did OK if I was doing straight passthrough (though CPU load was noticeably higher) but I got a lot of buffering when I'd try to have it transcode anything.
I host quite a few things on it (via docker) so the 920 is starting to show its load. I suspect that and the lack of hardware acceleration are the source of my issues.
I should probably mention i did upgrade it past the supported kernel and doubled the ram, i only host pihole and bitwarden and jellyfin. But docker makes things so much easier and fun.
Can't you just use a newer kernel?
Wouldn't this also be a significant security issue?
No, diskstation runs a significantly modified 2.4 kernel. They say they backport CSM mitigations/fixes into their kernel, but community pressure is growing by the year for them to update.
Holy shit, I remember being excited for 2.4 because of iptables. That was over twenty years ago.
Have you considered just installing Debian?
Can you elaborate on the Plex issues as of late? One of the guys I share my instance with has reported a lot of buffering that I haven't been able to reproduce.
Sudden buffering followed by a very long load time before it can get going again. Lowering the resolution resolves it for me.
What I'm seeing only on certain files though. And those files will always buffer again at the same point in playback. But it happens on things I watched without issue prior to my last update. So I suspect it's a problem with a specific codec, but I haven't taken the time to validate my hunch.
It shouldn’t be buffering at all if you’re direct playing.
