Got a fairly new setup going, and I love it...when it works. Half the time, I open my Jellyfin clients and it permanently hangs on loading anything. On my computers I can still access the files via network folders, so everything it connected. I'm mostly curious if this is a known issue or if I messed something up.

Edit: Solved, it was a networking issue and a transcoding issue.

On the app, I also have issues with Jellyfin sometimes not connecting too so I have no idea

Saw in another comment you mentioned out of the house is this only happening outside of your network? Could be upload speed issues or ISP throttling if you're not accessing via VPN into your network. Haven't heard of them throttling Jellyfin Plex etc but could be possible.

No, it happens from inside my house as well

WiFi for the clients, wired, or a mix (for the ones you're having the issue)?

Both, but the wired client is less frequent to hang ups

Hmm yeah odd, it feels like a restriction and you ruled out the CPU usage so unless it's just not assigned enough resources if virtualized I don't think it's that.

I would look at the disk I/O and look for network issues, you could start with pinging the server from the device and then trying to stream and see if it's all over the place or fairly consistent. Not the best test for it I'm sure but quick to try

So my server has been playing nice for the past couple days without issue. I didn't change anything, but it's suddenly working as intended. I'm not complaining, self-correcting issues are fine by me
