I have Jellyfin installed on my DS923+ with Tailscale. However, it's impossible to watch videos remotely due to the constant lag. I never had this problem with Plex, so I'm unsure if this is due to user error or not. All of my videos are 1080p. I'm not attempting to transcode a 4K behemoth or anything. Is there any way to increase the stream quality or reduce the lag?

Would enabling hardware acceleration make a difference? Despite my NAS having no gpu. Would using a reverse proxy improve the connection? If you have any ideas or advice I'd love to know. Thank you ❤️

Does streaming work if your on your LAN?

Do you have a bandwidth limit set for remote connections in Jellyfin? It's on a per user setting and labeled "Internet streaming bitrate limit).

What sort of bandwidth are you able to get through Tailscale?
