Jellyfin is awesome! It does everything I could ask for and has been super stable for myself and a dozen friends and family.
Almost all my media is 4k and some version of HDR. My cheap Intel ARC A380 and jellyfin handle everything beautifully. I tried plex but it’s hardware transcoding wasn’t as good with Intel GPU on Linux.
Very easy if you’re building a new box. The latest Linux kernel (6 I think) has all the required drivers available, and no encoding limit like Nvidia. The Intel GPUs are pretty great for media transcoding.
Personally I setup an old Dell r720 and stuck the GPU in that. My hypervisor is proxmox and I just run jellyfin as an unprivileged container.
Sure thing. My electric rate is pretty cheap though. You may be better off finding a small box with integrated graphics in the CPU. Then add storage separately. Connected NAS or something else.
But I like the Dell servers since they’re so cheap for the value.

How was implementing the A380 as a transcoder?
Am certainly interested it (the series, not this card specifically) in buying it as an accelerator.

If I have the spare funds for a new server, this sounds like a lovely idea!
Thank you :)

Yeah no. Most likely a spare pc case or sff pc (depending on finacial situation).
