What kind of mini-pc are you running your jellyfin server in?
What kind of mini-pc are you running your jellyfin server in?
I'm currently using a https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc2-home-cloud-two/, which has this cpu: Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex-A15 2Ghz and Cortex-A7 Octa core CPUs.
It is obviously not enough for real time transcoding, which is ok because I do not want it. But getting subtitles out of files and other remuxing tasks are slow as well, I'd like some more power without building a full custom hptc.
Is an intel NUC worth it? Or is there any other significantly faster raspby-clone?
Raspberry Pi 4
It looks a bit faster than my current setup, but not sure if fast enough to notice a difference, and I'd need a separate usb 3 > sata adapter.
Orange Pi PC (Allwinner H3, 1GB LPDDR3, HEVC support built-in). I was skeptical that the HEVC decoding would actually work with Armbian as it does with OpenELEC but it would seem so. At least I've had no problems with it while I previously had severe transcoding delays for x265 videos when running Jellyfin on a RasPi 2.
Just found out ethernet is 10/100, so not good enough for 4k high bitrate content.
Oh, hardware decoding, interesting. I will take a look.
Running on 11th gen. Intel NUC11ATKC4 (Intel Celeron N5105), it was pretty cheap (compared to other Intel NUCs) and the Celeron is good enough for running Jellyfin and everything else I run with a good transcoding performance @ non-60fps movies at 4K.
Lenovo Tiny m920q desktop box I believe. It's been pretty great with everything I've thrown at it, and quick-sync has been working as far as I can tell, though I'm streaming to my workstation 95% of the time so I rarely have to transcode.
I run jellyfin (along with about 20 other self hosted services) on a fitlet2
I used a libre-computer renegade for a while (basically a more powerful pi 3b), but recently upgraded to a used optiplex for the quicksync goodness :)
i got a beelink from amazon with a 8th gen i5. works great. transcode everything i throw at it.
Same, it's a great machine and I've had no issues so far. It can even transcode 4K without breaking a sweat
I'm running an old laptop with a 2nd gen i5. It can transcode video of it has to, but still be at 100% cpu lol. Transcoding audio is no issue for it. Anything above the spec of my old laptop are going to work great. That would be the i5 2nd gen with 4gb of RAM. Lol
Cheap x86 NAS, and replaced the OS with a Ubuntu server + libvirt setup. I do occasionally find it to be slow with
jellyfin-mpv-shim, but I am running like 10 other docker containers so one of those could be slowing things.I'm using a Dell optiplex 3050 which is an i3-6100. $40 from shopgoodwill.com
I'm using an old refurbished dell thin client that I got for 30 bucks on eBay. Works really well. Can recommend
