My Google TV picked up the latest versions of the jellyfin app and now a few of my 4k movies are no longer working as expected. I'm getting pauses and it looks almost like a buffering issue. I checked with my NAS and see network to the TV to be around 9MB/s which is fine for a wired connection. I used to be on wifi, but started having the same issue there after the update so I loved to a wired connection. Some 4k movies are good over wired, but some are in buffering hell.

Am I alone with this issue ? Idk. I ordered a 1gb USB adapter for the tv as a last attempt to validate it isn't the network connection. Will be here this weekend and will update with the results from that.

Got to tv on GB ethernet and I see it pulling the file at around 50MB/s which is great, but no difference. Maybe I did something wrong on the encode... Not sure. Let me try a re-encode of the movie... Idk

Check the logs. You can access them from the admin dashboard

I didn't see anything in the logs aside from starting the video. Is there something more I should see?

I noticed the app on my client was limited to 100MB via the settings, but I thought that just determines when to enable transcoding. I changed it to Auto. I need to test tomorrow.

Update: this setting seems to just limit what can be loaded.
