Encoding to AV1 is good to cooking CPUs.

Where you rocking the vcr+ codes or manually recording?

I read an article somewhere about this years ago… Maybe even back in 2010. What’s new this time?

You just need your mom to date someone that works at a secret government base, “borrow” their badge, swap the uranium with dish soap, and good to go.

Sweet. Need to see about running this as an app on my phone for the next port :)

This looks like a way better interface over Synology photos which is fine, but missing the search and map feature. You need to see if they are hiring 😂

Thanks, but I can’t sit through a 2 hr interview… Lol I need a bot to summarize or something

This is fine, but don’t make disabling ads and other tracing hidden under sudo commands that no one is going to guess.

Knowing how windows works sudo isn’t going to mean what we think it means. It’ll be like sudo for some things, and admin sudo for other.

Yeah, you can re-encode on your PC to a compatible codec and that should solve your issues

Why do you need to transcode video?

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.

Ahh, yeah that could be an issue. It takes my laptop like 11 hours to encode one of the Lord of the Rings Blu-ray. I also change the audio to eAC3 while I’m in there for better client support.

There is a trade off between just getting more storage and reencoding. I enjoy seeing the results of the re-encodes, but it’s more cost effective to just get a larger hard drive.

You can play in handbrake with AV1 encoding to see how it goes. I think I set the compression to 36 or something.

Yeah, from the re-encodes I’ve done, I only noticed artifacts in clouds and the New Line Cinema intro to lord of the Rings

Playback has pretty wide support by now.

Yes, AV1 is the next big deal. You can compress the hell out of the video and it still looks near original. I’ve re-encode some of my locally ripped movies for fun to see how it looks and it’s really impressive.

Yeah, if the streaming providers ever switch over to AV1 that would be an interesting comparison.

Yeah, doesn’t everyone use a VPN in some form by now?

Loaded the docker for fun on my NAS. I don’t need it, but other users in my home may appreciate this.

I think you can use Synology photos as the backup for the images and this as your front end … But not sure haven’t done it.

Surely you can’t be serious!

I only rip rare movies from dvds. It’s not worth the time and effort to rip dvds with it is easy to get 1080p copies of the same movies. An example of a DVD I riped is Enchanted Adventure.

I went with Toshiba drives, but debating that decision. 😄

Nah, you need to build a PC or pickup a older server. I went with Synology and it ended up close to $1k with drives 😭

I think the subedit program can convert subtitles… I forget :(

Tailscale works nicely as well

Disable video transcoding for the account your client connects with. Then check the log to see why it needs to transcod it the video fails. Could be the bitrate limit. I’m not having issues and using the same client.

Same. However, I make sure transcoding is not needed for video on my clients.

I agree. There are a bunch of DIY server options with linux. You should go that route to save money.

I went with bodhi.

I was having an issue getting nfs working and it just left a bad taste for me. I think your right I should just mout it and be done.

I run jellyfin on my NAS and the arr stack on a separate PC. I then manually sftp things over like and animal. My PC is running bodhi.

Reduce the need to transcode.
