I'm busy with work lately, but I'm investing into setting up Jellyfin, and the moment that's running, I'm canceling as well.
Would cancel sooner, but I'm not the one that actually uses it, so this was the compromise.
Trash guides.
That'll get you sorted.
The arrs are amazing
Yeah, I've got a full *arr setup so far - just need to iron out a few kinks before I can consider it "done". Mainly just dealing with my server computer being incredibly slow with - I assume - transcoding.
If you’re steaming on your local network you should be able to disable transcoding on your clients.
Ahh, I didn't know that was an option. I'll give it a shot - thanks!
Man for me it's the iGPU via Intel.
I have an i3 with an Intel IGPU and it'll murder any transcode I throw at it.
If you don't want to rebuild.. I think a quadro 2000? Is the sweet spot for cost vrs power.
But do your own research... I'm really rusty when it comes to suggesting gpus for servers.
https://www.serverbuilds.net/ is a great resource for that stuff. They have handy transcode guides there
Sadly, my current server is an old all-in-one, so adding a GPU will be difficult. My plan is to make due for now until I can get some proper hardware.
The current plan is - rather than bringing the hardware up to spec - I'll try bringing the spec down to the hardware, by pre-encoding everything to something like H264. (While keeping originals, since I have the space.)
Thank you for the response and the resource, though! I'll definitely check it out!
When my server crashes.. I'm going tiny. Beelink S12 Pro Mini PC, Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake- N100(up to 3.4GHz), 16GB DDR4 RAM 500GB PCIe SSD, Desktop Computer Support 4K Dual Display/USB3.2/WiFi 6/BT5.2/Gigabit Ethernet for Home/Office https://a.co/d/gZYihvd
And a 3.2 enclosure
Mediasonic USB 3.2 4 Bay 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure – USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps Type C | USB-C (HF7-SU31C) Support 18TB HDD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078YQHWYW
And you're welcome!
Good luck!
Ditto, but Plex. I know Plex has its issues, but I need stability and ease of use since I share streaming apps with 4 other households.
Plex works on my truenas server with no dedicated gpu. Jellyfin didn't. Simple as.
Jellyfin is the way. I've been running my server for 2 years now
