I usually use my phone with WiFi off or set up my phone as a hotspot while not connected to WiFi so my laptop can connect through my cell carrier’s network. Always helps for testing external connections quickly and easily.
Or you could use a free vpn, but some are sketchy beware.

Works ✅
There is only one movie that I think that should fisl there and it’s avatar 2, did w.e you played start up in a reasonable time?
Plays after a few seconds, doesn’t stop to buffer.

Thank you, but I’ve got my own instance running, so you can remove the account.
Loading time was about 5 seconds, 3 after skipping.
Works, just checked.
Works fine. A bit slow to load, but less than 10s. Media plays just fine :)
Gotta say that it’s pretty responsive, barely any loading times.
I can test from France
in 3 hoursif you want.FTR: fiber connection, 160 Mbps download with a VPN in Sweden (Mullvad fuck yeah), same upload speed.
Thank you ping you back
One of the Mullvad founders funds a far right political party.
Thought you should know. It might not bother you, but it bothered me enough to move to an alternate provider.
You’re of course correct on that, but Mullvad the company gave (somewhat) clear news release that their company is against far right (or left or any ‘far’ direction) politics. I’m not a customer and I couldn’t care less about Mullvad, but I think it’s worthwhile to keep in mind that company isn’t the same than one of it’s founders.
Of course if that is a breaking point to you, feel free to vote with your wallet and I can very much understand the decision, but there’s very few fully reputable companies around so I can also understand if that’s not a hill to die on.
Despite what comes from the mouth of the company, it is made from and run by the people behind it. Funding Mullvad funds him, and in turn that funds something intolerable to me. As long as that link is there, I won’t be.
Separating the people from the company is viable when it’s an inconsequential staffer in question. Not so for a co-founder and co-owner.
There aren’t many things left in life where it’s easy to have scruples, but this absolutely a hill that can be died upon without much inconvenience.

I haven’t tried for a long time but here are my scientific results:
There is a small glitch when I tried to turn on the subtitles of the “Community” TV show, but otherwise it seems to be fine. Should we look for specific issues?
More tests in 3 hours if you want, you have some good stuff.
Mostly just trying to test if it’s not taking ~15+ seconds to start a movie or w.e or skippig. Or making it so it’s bad
Still good. It is obviously slower for Avatar which is in 4K + HEVC: 10 seconds to start, 5 seconds to seek, but it’s still acceptable, you don’t do those actions all the time. And it’s not skipping, neither the sound nor the video.
BTW what is your setup? Is there some kind of transcoding?
No it’s a old laptop running everything, including other severe. The Avatar 2 was like a 17gb movie that’s why I was telling people to avoid it
Pinged.
Thanks pinging you back

@LifeInMultipleChoice I tested a couple different things:
1) General responsiveness: Not snappy, but fine. I am guessing this server is run on HDDs rather than SSDs. I always assume media on HDDs, but the platform itself had some notable delays.
2) Transcoding: Failed. I tested the newest Avatar movie (16Mbps to 10Mbps) and the server was unable to maintain live streaming. The video would stop to buffer regularly.
3) HDR: Couldn’t find any HDR content to test.
4) Intro skip accuracy: Seemed fine for the shows tested. I didn’t see my stress tester, Grimm.
5) Library organization: I know you asked for testing not reviewing, but I noticed a lot of content out of place. Season folders in the TV root directory, Jujutsu Kaisen’s season 1 is off the rails, etc.
Within reasonable circumstances and expectations, everything was working. Was there anything specific that you wanted to check?
Yeah that avatar movie is like 20gb running off a an external USB hdd. It’s never gonna work remotely, lol
Please don’t expose jellyfin to the Internet. It is not hardened against attackers.
Care to explain? How is it any worse than anything else going through cloudflare?
It’s fine

I lost a 2tb drive and had issues with the server recently, just switched to a new ISP so I figured I’d test.
You can limit your speed in the dev console of most browsers
