  • I read OP’s question as him streaming from a Jellyfin server to this box, not using this box as a Jellyfin server itself. Could be wrong, though.

    Also, it’s my understanding that transcoding is 100% about hardware support for the codecs and that integrated graphics that have it (TL;DR: 12th gen Intel) are going to perform pretty much just as well as even a high-end discrete gaming GPU for that task.

    (I say “gaming” GPU because I was reading about the Arc Pro B50 the other day and it has two separate sets of transcoding hardware, so it presumably would actually perform better in terms of the number of simultaneous streams it could handle. But short of something like that, it apparently doesn’t make much difference.)

    I hate it when Free Software installers present the GPL as if it’s an EULA. It’s not! You don’t have to agree to it to install the software!

    You only have to agree to it if you decide to do something that copyright law otherwise does not allow (e.g. redistribution of a modified version), and it is the act of doing that thing itself that signals your acceptance, no button-clicking necessary.
