Little tip for transcoding:

Friend of mine in the Netherlands has a server at home with Jellyfin. He bought the weakest A series ARC card (forgot the exact model number), because he found out all the ARC cards use the exact same hardware for transcoding. Meaning there’d not be any performance difference between the lowest end card and the highest end card.

Check that info yourself, of course, but me and my group of friends have been using his Jellyfin for watch-parties and it’s been going great.
