Which is a better host qnap Nas or RPi 5? - Son_Of_Diablo - 2025-08-02
Greetings,
I have used kodi in the past, but wanna try Jellyfin out.
My current options for hosts are a Qnap TS-419P+ or a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB.
I have read that the RPi might have issues with some encoding, however I haven't had any issues watching my media on a Raspberry Pi 4 in the past. (haven't gotten around to unboxing the RPi 5 yet).
The NAS is rather old, but I'm no export when it comes to this stuff, so what would you all suggest?
I don't wanna buy new hardware yet, so please don't suggest that
(unless it's completely impossible with the options I have)
Thanks in advance!
