No, I actually don’t care how big the room is and no I don’t care about my party members taking damage, should’ve taken a fire retardation potion instead of becoming a retard who’s on fire.

The other day I wanted to watch a movie. I had it all set up. I started streaming Jellyfin to my tv. The movie started playing at 5 frames per minute…
Turns out my pc can’t handle heavy transcoding at all. It also doesn’t have a gpu, so that doesn’t help.

Forget transcoding, have it in a playable format.You can run that on a toaster.

Will it not play the raw movie if you are on LAN?

To your point, there can be a little groundwork to get cpu transcoding to work right with Jellyfin on Linux. It’s a little easier on Windows.

Doesn’t need a GPU, your CPU might have a transcoder, just need to configure it Jellyfin.
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 day ago
As others have said, GPU may not be required.
I use a 2019 SFF desktop (no dedicated GPU) for Jellyfin, and transcoding for my 65" TV hardly increases cpu.
If you can figure out why it’s transcoding and fix that, it makes a big difference. Mine transcoses because of subtitles and there’s no fixing it (the Tizen Jellyfin app is the problem - I’m just glad to have the app at all).
The key is to know what formats, aspect ratio, etc, your TV handles natively and save files in that version. Fortunately my TV handles MKV natively but Jellyfin on Samsung doesn’t respect the Display Aspect Ratio flag, so I have to hard convert everything to square pixels in the proper aspect ratio (16:9,4:3, 3.5:3,etc) based on the original source. It’s a little extra work but scripting ffmpeg solves it. Future devices will surely handle square pixels and forced aspect ratio fine.

Do you save the source video as well? And does the jellyfin ecosystem have anything where I can have multiple copies of a video and it switches based on transfer conditions?
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 15 hours ago
I don’t save the original as I’m converying largely to save space anyway.
Some movies at 6+ gb, after converting to a 1gb file they look the same on a 65" TV. Since most of this is DVD source, I’m not really losing any quality (DVD is 720*480).
Even if I sources were Blu-Ray I’d still convert, but I’d target a larger screen size, just in case.
I don’t think Jellyfin can choose a different source file for different devices, it just doesn’t really make sense. Transcoding when needed really takes so little I don’t even notice it. I’ve run multiple video conversions (4+) while streaming, and syncing my media folder to the NAS and never have a glitch. And my hardware is old.
You could setup a movie library using the “Shows” type, which will support multiple versions of the same movie under a single poster/name in the library. It would take a little manual work to name the movies so you’d know which was “mobile friendly”.
You could also just create 2 movie libraries, one for large screens and one for mobile. You just keep the actual files in 2 different folders, so when you create a library it only uses that folder as a source.

The fool decided to talk to a girl instead of spending 180hrs+ downloading, compressing, formating, naming, indexing, installing, hosting and trouble shooting.
This is why China is ahead they got this figured out, they just got rid of the women.

What you described is very automatable. Not the getting rid of women the think with the nas and stuff

Ok, Google how long does it take to learn how to program?:
