+## Known Limitations
+
+### Seeking with HTTP Streaming
+
+When using HTTP streaming (the default), LMS cannot seek within audio streams. To work around this, when you seek or cast from a specific position, JellyLMS restarts playback with a new transcoded stream that begins at the requested position. This means:
+
+- **Seeking triggers a brief audio restart** rather than a smooth jump
+- **Starting playback mid-track** uses transcoding (MP3 320kbps) instead of direct streaming
+- **Playback from the beginning** uses direct/static streaming for best quality
+
+This is a fundamental limitation of how LMS handles HTTP streams.
+
+### Solution: Direct File Access
+
+If your Jellyfin and LMS servers can both access the same storage (e.g., a NAS), you can enable **Direct File Access** mode in the plugin settings. This allows LMS to read files directly from disk, enabling:
+
+- **Native smooth seeking** - no audio restart when scrubbing
+- **Full quality playback** - no transcoding needed
+- **Better performance** - no HTTP overhead
+
+To configure, set the path mappings in the plugin settings:
+- **Jellyfin Media Path**: The path prefix as Jellyfin sees your library (e.g., `/media/music`)
+- **LMS Media Path**: The same location as LMS sees it (e.g., `/mnt/music` or `//nas/music`)
