I would vote for running jellyfish off the NAS with powerful hardware Intel 8th Gen and up you should be fine. I personally don’t transcode video on my server only audio.
If I’m not sure about a video format working, I’ll manually re-encode the video with handbrake to h265 or av1. I also have used handbrake to create lower resolution copies of the same movies to reduce bandwidth needs when roaming on LTE.
Ok cool. I was just doing a few encodings manually today and was working on my own encoding application that would be specifically for us usage, but maybe this will be fine as well. Thanks for the work.
