I need on-location transcoding because my internet is garbage (~50 mbps). Sometimes my users need to transcode the show if the bit rate of the file is too high for my internet to keep up.

Wait you’re literally serving other users from a home internet? Oh man, get a VM or some colo space or something. Or faster internet. Your internet is much faster than mine and one reason I transcode remotely is to drop the bit rate enough that I can download the transcoded version without waiting all day.

I mean, I can stream 4K HDR if the player supports the video format, but clients don’t always jive well with whatever Radarr decided. I know I can fine tune it but everything works well enough right now and I don’t have time to change it.
I move around too much to do colocation. A VPS/VM isn’t worth the cost to me. My server is all old parts and I don’t pay for power usage.
