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?

      Same, it’s a great machine and I’ve had no issues so far. It can even transcode 4K without breaking a sweat

        nah running ubuntu 22.04 LTS on it. Only way to get tonemapping to work properly is to use unix. Runs like a dream, also have nextcloud running on it and some other person stuff. love that little box.

          Ok great, I think I know what I’ll get to replace my poor old laptop. I’ll likely pick up the i5 version.

            honeslty the i7 is overkill, i5 is perfect. ive done 6/7 4k transcode to a browser as a test and barely broke a sweat
