Please describe your bug

I'm on cloduflare tunnel self hosting jellyfin 10.8 (rapsberry pi 4) in docker container.
cloduflare test speed reports download 12.6mbps and upload 6.39mbs
however if I set quality to 3mbps the video is continuosly buffering resulting impossible to view the video
connecting to my local lan no problem are reported and I can stream at 60mbps without problem

when I stream over tunnel nload eth0 on my host docker machine reports just 50-100kbit/s
when I stream over lan nload eth0 on my host docker machine reports 20-60Mbit/s

I correctly setup hardware accelleration
in both case in logs I see: [WRN] [36] Jellyfin.Server.Middleware.ResponseTimeMiddleware: Slow HTTP Response from [ip or domain name]

could you please help me?

Could this be related due to jellyfin using single segment streaming?

I'm experiencing a similar problem. Setup is completely different (Windows Server), but the issue is the same. I have 25mbps upload here, and have JF streaming set to use only 7mbps. But almost all shows constantly buffer. I have a beefy GPU, and the transcodes finish quickly, so it's not that. I see the "Slow HTTP Response" all over the logs as well, but if I recall from earlier research, that's actually something completely different that's not important?

EDIT: Figured I'd chime in. I'd read before, if it's slow and it's not transcoding, it's always internet. Well, sure enough, I guess it was, for me. I have my Jellyfin capped at 4Mbps and that seems to be enough. Tragic, I know, but that's all I get with freaking Comcast. :/
