hardware setup - tvrb - 2025-03-09
Hi, I've been having stuttering / unplayable media with my current setup (more often with x265 but now with x264 too, not 100% sure).
Hoping for some recommendations to fix that.
Current setup: (Alienware alpha)
Intel Core i3-4130T Dual-Core processor (3M Cache, 2.9GHz)
GeForce 860 equivalent (?) (1st gen maxwell architecture) -- hardware acceleration fails when I try.
upgraded 8TB sdd
ethernet connection to router
TV in separate room (samsung from 2022)
chromecast 4th gen with Jellyfin app connected via wifi
Maybe i just need to have lower quality media?
Ideally, i would keep my media on that alienware above, but i do have a separate gaming computer that i could use.
Ryzen 7 7700
Radeon 6800 xt
1 TB ssd
thank you!

I'm seeing mixed messages about whether that Nvidia GPU has encoding/decoding or not. The Intel 4130T definitely does have encoding/decoding support, but it has pretty basic codec support and would require you using VAAPI instead of Intel Quick Sync.
Without your logs we can't say for certain what is going on. If you could share your full jellyfin logs via privatebin.net, we can figure out exactly what is going on.

Thank you so much!

Looks like I could upgrade to the intel i7 4790S chip with integrated graphics (HD 4600).
Would this upgrade potentially fix my issues?
If not, probably better to just make a new computer at that point haha.
