    The only one I can think off hand who does seed boxes as a product is @PulsedMedia

  • Whatbox, seedhost, feral, ultra.cc, seedbox.io

    These have been in the game since long and are reliable.

    Personally, I use a dedi+rtinst or cloudbox. It makes for a better experience as there is freedom to install what you want and don't have to worry about infringing upon others' share.

  • Pulsed media is the best option
    I have a kimsufi server with swizzin installed

    What's the spec of that dedi?

    Cool. Thanks for sharing

    Any reason you're using a seedbox along with a dedi?

    Any reason you're using a seedbox along with a dedi?

    Intel iGPU for plex/emby/jellyfin for hardware transcoding, and fuse enabled rclone/mergerFS for the remote google drive. And overall more control and easier app integrations, between sonarr/radarr/bazarr/plex and finally its self managed so it wont go under even if the provider fucks up.

    My SYS2 1541 seems to hold up great while transcoding 4K videos. I wish there was an integrated GPU as well.

    Why would you transcode at all? - never understood this to be honest.

    I'm currently in a location with slow internet so I drop it down to 1080 or 720 when I need it

    Why not grab a 1080p/720p version ? makes no sense to get 4K to transcode it

    best thing is private trackers and dedi with swizzin and some customization imo then push too local NAS

    Still doesn't stop you grabbing a 1080p/720p version - unless you're strapped for HD space.

    I am. I'm not sure what's the issue here. If i can get 4K and transcode without issue why get multiple copies. I can watch 4K on the TV at home and worst case transcode to lower res in shitty reception areas. What am I missing here?

    Your not missing anything - I'm saying It doesn't makes sense to transcode a 4K file on a server that will struggle to do so when you can just direct stream 1080p/720p file which in reality will play and look better then transcoding a 4K file.

    The 1541 barely goes up 60% usage when transcoding.

    Like I said - a good 1080p encode will look far better than a 4K transcoded file over Plex. So to me personally it seems a bit bonkers to do it :smile:

    Quickbox.io user here with my Dedicated server and Google Drive.

    Any reason you're using a seedbox along with a dedi?

    Intel iGPU for plex/emby/jellyfin for hardware transcoding, and fuse enabled rclone/mergerFS for the remote google drive. And overall more control and easier app integrations, between sonarr/radarr/bazarr/plex and finally its self managed so it wont go under even if the provider fucks up.

    My SYS2 1541 seems to hold up great while transcoding 4K videos. I wish there was an integrated GPU as well.

    Why would you transcode at all? - never understood this to be honest.

    I'm currently in a location with slow internet so I drop it down to 1080 or 720 when I need it

    Why not grab a 1080p/720p version ? makes no sense to get 4K to transcode it

    Because I'm not always on shit network?

    Still doesn't stop you grabbing a 1080p/720p version - unless you're strapped for HD space.

    I am. I'm not sure what's the issue here. If i can get 4K and transcode without issue why get multiple copies. I can watch 4K on the TV at home and worst case transcode to lower res in shitty reception areas. What am I missing here?

    Your not missing anything - I'm saying It doesn't makes sense to transcode a 4K file on a server that will struggle to do so when you can just direct stream 1080p/720p file which in reality will play and look better then transcoding a 4K file.

    The 1541 barely goes up 60% usage when transcoding.

    60% for no reason :smile: - but it works for you which is all that matters.

    It's not doing anything else so why not ๐Ÿ™‚

    Like I said - a good 1080p encode will look far better than a 4K transcoded file over Plex. So to me personally it seems a bit bonkers to do it :smile:

    Hmm didn't know that - might have to test it out!

    In reality - Some 4K isn't even native 4K - so you're getting hoodwinked there straight away.

    That makes sense! Time to put that 16TB and Gdrive to good use.

    Out of curiosity - what is the general file size of the 4K stuff you're watching?

    Anywhere between 40-80 gigs
