Jellyfin - System - Trickplay Options¶

Configuration options for jellyfin system trickplayOptions.

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.enableHwAcceleration¶

Whether to enable hardware acceleration.

false

true

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.enableHwEncoding¶

Whether to enable hardware encoding.

Currently only available on QSV, VA-API, VideoToolbox and RKMPP, this option has no effect on other hardware acceleration methods.

false

true

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.enableKeyFrameOnlyExtraction¶

Whether to enable key frame only extraction.

Extract key frames only for significantly faster processing with less accurate timing. If the configured hardware decoder does not support this mode, will use the software decoder instead.

false

true

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.interval¶

Interval of time (ms) between each new trickplay image.

10000

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.jpegQuality¶

The JPEG compression quality for trickplay images.

90

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.processPriority¶

Setting this lower or higher will determine how the CPU prioritizes the ffmpeg trickplay generation process in relation to other processes. If you notice slowdown while generating trickplay images but don't want to fully stop their generation, try lowering this as well as the thread count.

"BelowNormal"

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.processThreads¶

The number of threads to pass to the '-threads' argument of ffmpeg.

1

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.qscale¶

The quality scale of images output by ffmpeg, with 2 being the highest quality and 31 being the lowest.

4

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.scanBehavior¶

The default behavior is non blocking, which will add media to the library before trickplay generation is done. Blocking will ensure trickplay files are generated before media is added to the library, but will make scans significantly longer.

"NonBlocking"

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.tileHeight¶

Maximum number of images per tile in the X direction.

10

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.tileWidth¶

Maximum number of images per tile in the X direction.

10

nixflix.jellyfin.system.trickplayOptions.widthResolutions¶

List of the widths (px) that trickplay images will be generated at. All images should generate proportionally to the source, so a width of 320 on a 16:9 video ends up around 320x180.
