A mini PCs sips power when they’re mostly idle, at about 10/15w then it creeps upwards if you push it. It also only needs the iGPU anyway even if you wanna do trancoding on Plex. It will most likely be way more efficient that a desktop with a GPU on it
I think the best choice is getting one of those so all your services are working all the time. A RPI will work albeit you gotta be aware of its limitations.
Probably just hardware compatibility and me specifically NVIDIA x) once you get the kinks sorted out it’s a pretty stable experience
Started contributing 2 weeks ago and just did a walk for StreetComplete yesterday, it’s hella fun and I’ve added a lot of POIs on my city since i started, just over 400 changesets atm :)
If you’re satisfied with Jellyfin, you should stick to that cause Plex ain’t bringing much to the table in all honesty. I still use Plex cause it works better most of the time really.
Well, it’s pretty unsurprising considering all companies are doing the same.
I’ve given a chance to Jellyfin but it’s really frustating how it simply refused to play video files without any descriptive error logs. I think it mostly doesn’t work properly on HEVC files (I think Edge is the only browser that properly supports x265) and my Android TV also doesn’t play the damn thing.
Also adding that video files from the same release (which assumed are the same encoder), they either work perfectly or just refuse to work :(
I do not pay for Plex but I considered in the past getting a lifetime sub x)
I have it running for a couple of months now, doing just fine. Had to change my compose file a while back due to some change but rock solid so far.
I do run Syncthing too in any case
