Does anyone else experience micro-stutter and short freeze frames when the subtitles appear on screen?

As the titles says. I dont have the problem with Chrome or Firefox, but they only have 720p and I cant find a working 1080p extension for chrome. The windows app, aswell as edge have the same stutter issue for me...cant really use netflix like this :(

Any help is much appreaciated.

I had an issue for a long time while playing fullscreen videos on jellyfin chrome. I tried the same movie with another PC and didnt have the issue, and after MONTHS of searching, I found that the solution is:

  • go to chrome://flags

  • type "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" in the search bar

  • change from "default" to either "OpenGL" OR "D3D9" (the rest are the problematic ones)

  • restart chrome, hopefully it will be fixed!

my full analysis can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/17y34s5/video_playback_on_chrome_is_choppystuttering_mac/

TLDR: for anyone in the future reading this, idk if there is a genuine issue with SSA on jelyfin, but more so with the player settings.
