I currently have two TVs, one I use an appleTV with and the other with a googleTV HD (device formerly known as Chromecast), but they both have issues.
The jellyfin app on appleTV is messed up, it fucks up audio and subs all the time, and in general has a hard time with media that has multiple audio tracks, not using the audio I select with the remote.
The googleTV just stutters with almost everything, direct stream or transcoded doesn’t matter. All of my library is just 1080p, I have proper wifi to it, all mobile devices stream just fine.
So neither of these provide me with a solution that really works.
What solutions can you recommend, that allows for seamless navigation of jellyfin with my remote? I don’t want anything resembling a mouse/keyboard combo for navigation whatsoever.
How are these devices connected to the network and how is your media server connected?
Server is wired, devices use WiFi
Which type of Wi-Fi and what type of wired connection?
I suspect that there’s not enough bandwidth available.
Dual and 2.4 and 5ghz wifi, gigabit wired. I’m speed testing the googleTV to >500mbps, so wifi should be more than adequate.
That seems adequate.
You say that phones and mobile devices stream fine. Os that from your media server, or the internet?
How does internet streaming work on the Google TV and Apple TV?
Essentially you need to keep eliminating causes until there’s one left.
All other devices stream (locally) just fine without stuttering, I don’t have access to the server outside my home network (intentionally).
The appleTV streams just fine, I just can’t change audio track on that, which mostly impact the kids because they still have limited English skills.
