I was wondering if anyone bumped into this. I noticed random jumps (1-3seconds) in playback when playing original quality. Definitely not buffering or performance lag, just an actual playback error. Jump was at the same spot anytime I loaded the media and regardless of what time I loaded it to.
Which is curious because on playing the file with a different media player on the box it was on, zero issue what so ever.
Disabling direct stream option (under debug) resolved it, and there doesn’t seem to be much of a performance hit, I’m just curious what’s going on here.
Is it just one file (or a few files) or all your files?
I’ve seen this occasionally with a small number of files that I now believe have an error in them: some players manage to make it through the bad bits without glitching much, others choke and skip ahead past the error.
It seems to be anything I play, but I’m not sure. I originally thought it was a filezilla file transfer issue, but ruled it out because of the player not having the same issue. Your point about some players handling it better brings that back into question.
Annoyingly by it occuring randomly (although at a consistent spot), it’s hard to look for. I have media on this machine I transfered via a hard drive dock, and some via filezilla, so I’ll have to be closer attention to stuff transfered from the dock.
Is it perhaps related to the Codec of the videos?
maybe. It happened with a H.264 as well as H.265 though.
No way am I ever disabling Direct Stream, though.
This happens in Chrome and other browsers when direct playing remuxes. Are you by chance using a web browser? If so, switch to an installed Plex app.
