If you don't mind, which processor do you have? I've been thinking of setting up a Jellyfin server too, but I have a G4500 and I've always been worried that it can't handle the load...

Mine is the venerable G3258—the budget overclocking champ in the 4th generation Core family. Runs at 4,4 GHz and handles OpenMediaVault and 19 Docker containers just fine. I think G4500 would be fine, too.

That's amazing, thanks! I know mine can probably run Jellyfin locally, but I'm hoping it'll allow for 1-2 streams remotely. Probably won't be able to do 2 simultaneous transcodes but direct streams might work

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

As I understand it, media streaming isn't actually that taxing because your server doesn't actually have to render all of that data, just transfer it; so as long as it can handle a copy operation faster than one second per second, and you're only watching from one device at a time, it'll still work.

I haven't done it, though, so I'm not sure how much overhead Plex/Jellyfin add by way of transcoding.
