  Yeah, I’ve got a full *arr setup so far - just need to iron out a few kinks before I can consider it “done”. Mainly just dealing with my server computer being incredibly slow with - I assume - transcoding.

    If you’re steaming on your local network you should be able to disable transcoding on your clients.

      Ahh, I didn’t know that was an option. I’ll give it a shot - thanks!

    Man for me it’s the iGPU via Intel.

    I have an i3 with an Intel IGPU and it’ll murder any transcode I throw at it.

    If you don’t want to rebuild… I think a quadro 2000? Is the sweet spot for coat vrs power.

    But do your own research… I’m really rusty when it comes to suggesting gpus for servers.

    www.serverbuilds.net is a great resource for that stuff. They have handy transcode guides there

      Sadly, my current server is an old all-in-one, so adding a GPU will be difficult. My plan is to make due for now until I can get some proper hardware.

      The current plan is - rather than bringing the hardware up to spec - I’ll try bringing the spec down to the hardware, by pre-encoding everything to something like H264. (While keeping originals, since I have the space.)

      Thank you for the response and the resource, though! I’ll definitely check it out!
