01:41 <k-man> hello!

01:42 <k-man> recently I found that jellyfin plugin on kodi/libreelec would start playback very slowly. like 30s-1m before playback starts.

01:43 <k-man> if i use the apple tv swiftfin (or we it jellyfin? I'll have to double check when i get home) playback is instant

01:43 <k-man> i have set up hardware transcoding on the jf server, and it appears to work fine in the browser. any suggestions of how to diagnose?

01:46 <k-man> oh damn. I just read on the jf site: Please AVOID Raspberry Pi 5 for Jellyfin. The Raspberry Pi 5 lacks hardware encoders altogether. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has also not responded to requests for official comment from the Jellyfin team.

01:46 <k-man> what sbc do people like these days for kodi/jf playback?

02:03 <k-man> ah, in jf there is an option to "allow subtitle extraction on the fly" maybe that is causing the slowdown
