I have recently set up a Jellyfin server running on a Beelink S12 pro in docker (with a few other containers running), and I am having a few problems with stuttering video.
I get little micro-stutters every few seconds regardless of whether it is direct play or transcoding and regardless of what client I use (librelec with Jellyfin plugin), android phone, or firefox on a windows laptop), and I am struggling to narrow down the cause of it.
Any ideas of where I should look first?
The server utilisation seems low, I have tried a wired and wifi connection, I have tried 720, 1080, and 2160 resolution videos, with and without transcoding.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I think I have now fixed the problem. I tried a new setup on my gaming PC and everything worked fine. This was running on the same network and same client. This made me think it was something with my server. I used the cup-shares docker command to prioritise the jellyfin container and I’ve had no stutters since.

What’s the specs? I had a rbp4 with Kodi/libre elec and a laptop as a server (like 6gb ram, ryzen 5000u?) And the raspberry pi couldn’t play shit.
Upgraded all to used office sff with Intel 6core+ and haven’t had too much of an issue if any.
The raspberry pi had to get a lot transcoded
