Server optimization in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So lets say i aquire a movie file, i "put it in the transcoder", it becomes the desired quality fitting for jellyfin and then i upload it? until now i just downloaded the media in 1080, 720, 4k and just uploaded it as they came

Server optimization (alien.top)
 

i am currently running jellyfin in a container on a Fujitsu S540.

It only runs jellyfin and my proxy manager

I have about 4 users now using the service and have gotten feedback that it lags alot as in long wait times before the show/movie starts. Buffering during the media etc.

I have looked into hardware acceleration and found it to be kind of difficult with a container.

Does changing the media player to for example vlc do anything good for this?

Do i need to transcode my media before i upload it? When i add something i really just put it up there how i downloaded it (even 4k) and stuff and from what ive seen people transcode their media first (i also have no experience with transcoding but have looked into its use)

​

Are there any ways to improve my setup? should i upgrade to a better server ( i was thinking a HP ProDesk 600 G3 SFF)

My current setup is:

My isp's modem connected to the internet TP-Link-Router My Workstations / (Server)

I will be adding a media server that will be exposed to the internet. Now my question is: would i connect it to my modem and enable port forwarding there or connect it to my Router and port forward both on the modem and the router?
