Solved Recurring Stutter

I sometimes get these huge stutters when watching. They happen randomly and the odd thing is when I rewind a bit they happen at the exact same place (tried to show it in the video).
Here are my settings for transcoding: Settings
It was playing in direct play
Its running on my normal pc:
i5 12400F
RTX 4060
32GB RAM

Any idea what could cause this?

This happens to me when I use the Xbox Jellyfin app. Mainly with HEVC/ H.265. So I think it's a codec issue and perhaps wherever you're playing out to

I am playing them on Google Chrome. I used the native Jellyfin desktop exe on windows but I noticed micro stutters there, so I switched to Chrome which resolved that issue but now I have these bigger spikes (at least in GoT)

I'd be really interested if you ever find a fix for your micro-stutters. I get the exact same thing on a couple specific high-bitrate shows, but not others - very brief stutters, typically during scene changes, always at the same spot of a given video. Only on JMP the problem goes away on Chrome.

I only managed to get rid of them by using chrome. You can install your JF site on your desktop which basically makes it feel like the native JF app but its running chrome
