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 ❤️

can't be bothered to look up what kinda hardware that thing has, but I'd venture a guess it's hella faster than my server - a core2 duo from 2007. that thing has no issues streaming 1080p between continents with months long uptime and zero hitches, over wireguard. the only thing I changed from the default is turn off transcoding.
