## Roku Buffering on Weak WiFi — Client Bitrate Cap (2026-03-26)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** Low — single device, non-critical viewing location
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Roku in a far corner of the house with poor WiFi signal was buffering/failing to play videos. Content was not being transcoded down to accommodate the limited bandwidth.
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause:** Jellyfin does not dynamically adapt bitrate mid-stream (no HLS ABR like Netflix). The server's `RemoteClientBitrateLimit` was set to `0` (unlimited), and LAN clients are treated as "local" anyway so that setting wouldn't apply. The Roku Jellyfin app was requesting full-quality streams that exceeded the WiFi throughput.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix:** Set **Max Streaming Bitrate** in the Jellyfin Roku app settings (Settings > Playback) to a lower value (4-8 Mbps). This forces the server to transcode down via NVENC before sending. No server-side changes needed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson:** For bandwidth-constrained clients, the client-side bitrate setting is the first lever to pull. For a server-enforced cap that survives app resets, create a dedicated Jellyfin user for that device and set a per-user bitrate limit in Dashboard > Users > Playback. The `RemoteClientBitrateLimit` in system.xml only applies to clients Jellyfin considers "remote" — LAN devices are always "local."
