Gah! This bit me today.

I’m experimenting with switching from Tailscale to Netbird. I was streaming Jellyfin to my TV via netbird and was surprised when it started buffering. Turning down the video quality helped keep the stream going.

Yeah, no wonder. Turns out my video was being streamed via relay because all of the Android apps default to force relayed connections.

I guess they’re working out some kinks still… anyway, turning that setting off fixed my streaming latency!

This was not defaulted on my Jetbird.

Because JetBird explicitly changed that setting away from the default
