Are you talking about 4k files? Because I have been running Jellyfin on my pi400 for the past two years and I've not had those issues at all. My content is 1080p max though.
Have you checked if those files are being transcoded? This will depend on the clients used and the codecs supported. I use mine mainly to stream anime at 1080p, the files I get from my current source don't trigger the transcoding (Direct Play); while some older files I had used unsupported codecs and required the transcoding.
Yep, 4k, sometimes with HDR. It was happening mostly on those. But 1080p files were also sometimes affected
I ran JF for about a year on a Pi 2B. Transcoding off at the server. No issues at all playing any file using Direct Play - including large 4K rips. I moved to an Odroid C2, again, absolutely no issues with playback.
If you’re seeing trouble with Direct Play I’d bank on it being network or storage related rather than the power of the Pi. E.g. the network hasn’t got enough throughput to serve the files. In Direct Play you need very little in terms of server resources as it’s handed off to the client.
Dunno, maybe it was storage. I had a SATA to USB3 drive hooked up to it. Couldn't have been network. I got some old office PC with i3-6100 for free, hooked it up to the same cable, same router port and everything is working mostly smooth now, on similar drive but connected directly to SATA
