I was having some dropped frame issues on my PC, and my phones video is pretty much unusable so I figured its probably a lack of hardware acceleration. Is it worth it to buy an Intel A380 which I’ve found for $120, or is it not worth it? For reference I currently have an i5 8600k and 16gb of RAM running Ubuntu Server headlessly.

    The percentage shows how much of the currently watched media is already transcoded - if your hardware were too weak and the transcoding is slower than the playback, you could wait for it to transcode like 30% before you start watching. I feel that :D if my 1070 wouldn’t be more than enough at the moment, I’d bite the bullet, too
