Playing files directly in the browser and avoiding the need for transcoding is exactly what the system I’ve built is designed around, so I get the appeal!
Comment on How big is your media library?

I use Tdarr to transcode everything in VP9 (can play in a browser and doesn’t need transcoding from Jellyfin).
Audio is AAC 2 channel (I keep the original audio track and add the new AAC). Subs are in SRT.
Everything is made for play from a browser without issue. I use Infuse on my Apple TV and ether never the web player but when my family watch something form Jellyfin wathever the device no trancode needed.
TV Shows : 172 Movies : 394 7.2 Tib
Actually, not all files are transcoded the process is very slow. All files are stored on my NAS (Synology DS918+) with SHR-1 (hybrid RAID with 1 drive fault).
I use Janitorr, he removes old files when I run low on space. This is why my library is not big.
Feel free to ask if you have questions.
Sorry for my English.

I tried tdarr, but have issues using more than one node. I may just wind up installing docker on my more powerful desktop specifically for tdarr, instead of on the proxmox server I have without a real gpu. (It’s a Xeon Supermicro board with their onboard VGA)

Could you share your plugin setup/flow? I’d like to have tdarr do exactly what you have it doing.

Wow, thanks for suggestion of Tdarr — that project indeed looks very nice. What is. your experience using it? Any quirks?

I second this. Never heard of it but looks great.
