GPU accelerated transcoding. Skylake and newer i3 or higher Intel iGPUs can do simultaneous transcode of 20x 1080p streams without breaking a sweat.
Sure, but I am never steaming more than one video at a time.

+1 for Infuse, well worth the price!
Don't you have to pay monthly for it unless you splurge for the hundred dollar lifetime? that's a lot of money for an iOS app.
I suppose I understand the reasons people prefer Jellyfin. But on the small chance of liking a commercial product, Plex is truly dead simple for my parents. They have an AppleTV. They signed up. I share it with them via their registered email address. And they’re in. It was as simple a process as I could hope for. That being said, do I like everything they’re pushing for? No. But they at least allow users to opt out.…

Who has hardware for transcoding any more, and what hardware is modern for that? Last dedicated hardware encoder I used was bad old days of MPEG2 for DVDs, but that went the way of the dodo when MPEG2 went native to the CPU. Never used hardware for h.264/5. I guess there was a board for J2k doing realtime lossless, but that was 2010ish. So I'm legit curious what hardware transcoding looks like today, and that Plex ch…
I bought a GPU to get smooth 4k sources streaming to my devices.
When I looked into Jellyfin last year, the main problems were: - Can't connect to people's existing Plex servers. - Can't just invite someone without storing their password on my server. No support for (e.g.) OAuth2.
Right, Jellyfin has nothing to do with Plex other than competing with it. It's not a Plex client.
> "My media content had been pushed aside into a submenu while the app promotes its own streaming media and premium services instead." This is my biggest pet-peeve coming from Linux world. In Linux the music players you find bundled with different distros are simple, but they just work. However since moving to MacOS, I have to either use iTunes or Music, and in Android the default music player and the latest updates…
also, with brew or macports you can install pretty much any audio player you want

Both Jellyfin and Plex sync by default automatically but Plex’s default was a few hours or so.
Thanks for the info, didn't know that about Plex. A couple of a hours does not work with my workflow. I get a movie, add it to my media folder, and then I want to watch it, so I'm not surprised I missed it.
My server is headless only has an embedded graphics card so I wish I could disable transcoding outright as I can never get it to play high def content via a browser despite trying different settings (debian).
