Hi,

I'm currenty using Oracle Free Tier for Jellyfin (hosted in Paris) and i wanted to know what is the proper way to speed up media delivery when i'm far away from the server location ? (Korea currently)

EDIT : After all your replies, my VPN through Hong Kong give me the best speed.

You're probably limited by your TCP window sizes and congestion control algorithm. Look up a TCP throughput calculator and adjust your window size/congestion control as needed.

If your hosting provider doesn't grant access to this level, you could try various tunnels, like a UDP VPN that might be more resiliant. Again, not sure how limited you are with your provider. Worst case you could UDP VPN into a server in the same city as your host

Yeah, I wouldn't think high latency would be too much of an issue for streaming (except maybe for the initialisation), as long as the client has a decent buffer size and doesn't wait for a packet to arrive before requesting the next one. What client are you using to play your videos?

Jellyfin Media Player or the website player
