    VDS = Virtual Dick Server

    Randomly terminates your apps, crashes and reboots the instance.

    Sounds like a good business idea, let me take a note.

    Yeah but then he said 1080p, so I can't be sure.

    I do 4K remuxes too, but for the majority of releasing content I stick to 1080p encodes. At the moment having everything in 4K is too expensive in terms of storage. My primary Plex server (with primarily 1080p where I've been able to get that) sits at 114 TB.

    Thx u, now i can safely torrent anime linux isos

    BTW why doo you guys need to store linux iso's like its available online you can watch there :smile: is there something I am missing here?

    For me it's multiple reasons.

    1. Legal streaming services have become a fucking mess. They delete and move content elsewhere all the damn time. Sometimes only a few seasons are available on a platform, sometimes seasons are spread out on different platforms.
    2. I'm a quality fanatic. I don't do a lot of 4K, but I do prefer at least a decent bitrate video for 1080p still. Shit encodes that do something like H264 1080p @ 600 kbps is wildly different than H264 1080p @ 3500 kbps depending on the show/movie.
    3. I like having different dubs and subtitles available on my Plex server for friends and family. Dubs are especially important because they can be hard to find. Only streaming service that consistently has Nordic-dubbed content of their older media is Disney+, the rest I'd have to scour used marketplaces for DVDs or blurays.
      • Subtitles are mostly because I like hoarding, but also because some of my friends are picky about needing Norwegian subtitles.

    You run a Plex server? Or Jellyfin?

    Technically I run both on the same media libraries, but mainly Plex. The client support for Jellyfin was pretty meh last time I tested.

    I think it's the other way around. Plex charges for iOS apps while Jellyfin's are free.

    It was definitely not the other way around if you think about smart TVs, Chromecasts and the like. I'm not a fan of the iOS/Android apps costing a one-time fee of $5 either, but back when I tested all my other devices, Plex worked better.

    Do you also do encoding on Plex server?

    I'd personally avoid the smart TV's apps - they're not that good, and also track heavily.
    Apple TV is the simpler solution - privacy-friendly and can play nearly everything.
    Ugoos AM6 Plus / Ugoos AM6B Plus actually play everything.

    Yeah my TV is old (I still love it thou) so I can't run any DoVi stuff, if there is no HDR fallback then I have to re-download stuff.

    I agree also. Do you host it at home-server / NAS kind of thing? I am planning to build one also and I thought 14 TB disk would be enough but seems like not really.

    @komdragon said: Do you also do encoding on Plex server?

    Plex server will occasionally do some transcoding at least. Typically whenever my friends use some new device and forget/don't care to check the settings

    Fair, but I can't force people to buy new devices just because I wanna use a different kind of software. Plex works just fine for the time being. I don't think Jellyfin has any features at the moment that would make me prioritize it over Plex, besides the fact it's an open-source software.

    @barbaros said: I agree also. Do you host it at home-server / NAS kind of thing? I am planning to build one also and I thought 14 TB disk would be enough but seems like not really.

    At the moment I have a ridiculously expensive set up via a provider. Basically throwing money in a fire.
    Once I move and have more space for it, I plan on moving it to my home and hooking up a NAS with a ThinkCentre or something for transcoding with the iGPU.

    Well your CPU should have built in GPU (I think E3 doesn't have) or you need external GPU for transcoding. Else CPU will have to handle this. I think your CPU is doing all the work there.

    Sorry forget that your CPU has GPU built in : https://www.intel.de/content/www/de/de/products/sku/97473/intel-xeon-processor-e31245-v6-8m-cache-3-70-ghz/specifications.html?wapkw=E3 1245 v6

    Plex will tell you if it's using hardware transcoding, but there are a few gotchas.

    • Your host needs the drivers installed for it, not to mention some server motherboards don't even let you utilize the iGPU (apparently).
    • It needs to have access to the iGPU. If you're running it in a Docker container, you need to mount/forward/whatever the iGPU device.
    • You need Plex Pass for hardware transcoding.
    • You might have to manually enable the hardware transcoding in the server settings (under "Transcoder" if you do it via Plex web UI).
