There’s three that I sub to: selfhosted, runityourself, and selfhosted. Not sure what’s with with the latter two, I subbed to them both to be safe lol.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
My NAS chokes on 4k content so it’s all 1080p for streaming. For 4k I put them on my old gaming PC because it has a GPU that can actually push the content smoothly
I actually run Plex/jellyfin on a separate nuc since I don’t think my synology CPU could transcode very much. The benefit is that I got a nuc with quicksync that can handle probably ~8 4K transcodes without causing any CPU load or any noticeable power usage, I haven’t tested how many simultaneous it can do but the goal was just to be more power efficient than CPU transcoding on my old rack server.
I don’t have the upload speed to stream 4k anyway so I play it on a local PC to my home theater system. It pushes atmos to my Sonos system and 4k hdr to the tv so I’m a happy camper
Me neither, it’s more so that I can be sure I have the power for a local 4K transcode + as many remote 1080 transcodes as possible, since I share with ~10 friends/family members. I think my quicksync should be able to handle ~20 or so 1080 transcodes but it usually doesn’t go above 5.
Also lol at whoever is down voting us for discussing our transcoding setups
laughs in plex server with 24TB of content
I’m only at 12 but have 22 more coming soon. Can’t wait.
Is anyone aware of any lemmy communities for running a home media server?

Just upgraded my nas from 23 to 48tb 😎 so much space for 5.1 audio and 4K 10bit HDR
