Playback freezes with Intro Skipper in Jellyfin Media player

Audio comes before the video for some ms
1 project | /r/jellyfin | 8 Jun 2023

I use Kodi with the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon and never have this problem on AndroidTV. I’m surprised you get this issue on a Mac, though. Is that when using a browser or when using Jellyfin Media Player?
Playback Breaks When Turning Off Subtitles (Firefox and Chromium)

Does this problem still occur in Jellyfin Media Player? I recommend using this instead of a browser.
Why is the CPU Usage Much Higher When Streaming to My Laptop Compared to Streaming to My TV?
1 project | /r/jellyfin | 6 Jun 2023

I'd give Jellyfin Media Player a try, it supports pretty much all the formats and also supports Jellyscrub and IntroSkipper. It is what I personally use, if you have hardware transcoding is not as big of an issue, but if you don't it either eats up your CPU or is unplayable

On what device/client are you trying to watch it on? Try it on Jellyfin Media Player on your computer. Does it work then? It should direct play.
Weird colors banding on quick scenes
1 project | /r/jellyfin | 2 Jun 2023

Just to be sure, if you play the movie in something like MPV or VLC on your computer, do those same scenes exhibit this color banding? How about in Jellyfin Media Player?
Burn subtitles outside jellyfin

Some examples are Jellyfin Media Player, Swiftfin, or Kodi with the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon or JellyCon Addon. I watch a lot of anime with various subtitle formats and these clients always direct play my media.

There are clients you can use to direct play such as Jellyfin Media Player or Kodi with the Jellyfin for Kodi Addon or JellyCon Addon. I watch a lot of anime with various subtitle formats using Kodi on an Amazon FireStick and I never have to transcode.

Try version 1.8.1 https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player/releases/tag/v1.8.1
Is there a way to run jellyfin natively on the PC to watch movies without streaming? I love the look of jellyfin so is there a program like that out there for PC that does that?

Jellyfin Media Player.

What's the lowdown on streaming video files? format, settings, apps etc?
1 project | /r/fireTV | 16 Jun 2022

Any good video player will suffice. Nova Video Player will pull metadata from tmdb etc. if you want and has trakt support if you need it. MX Player should work fine if you just want to browse the content on the drive and play. If you need DTS/AC3 support in MX Player, use this codec pack with it: https://github.com/USBhost/MX_FFmpeg
Set Custom Codec in MX Player TV
1 project | /r/AndroidTV | 10 Jun 2022

I downloaded the codec mx_aio.zip from here: https://github.com/USBhost/MX_FFmpeg/releases. But when I tried to set the codec from mx player, it doesn't show the zip file so I can't set it as the custom codec.
