  • 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.

    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)
