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?
I run jellyfin (along with about 20 other self hosted services) on a fitlet2
Raspberry Pi 4
Same but if the Quality of the Media is too Big it doesn’t follow.
Are you hardwired in (via ethernet)?
I just always use directStream or directPlay
i got a beelink from amazon with a 8th gen i5. works great. transcode everything i throw at it.
Are you running windows on it or did you change?
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
Same, it’s a great machine and I’ve had no issues so far. It can even transcode 4K without breaking a sweat
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 :)
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.
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.
