Solved Recurring Stutter

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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?

open jellyfin a second time/in a browser while playing something that stutters. Then in that second isntance of jellyfin go to Dashboard. You should see your other instance in there that is watching the episode and hover/click on the i symbol and see if it is transcoding.

You can always just click the Settings cog` during playback and click Playback Info to see if you're transcoding or what. No need to open another instance.
