use another pc for trickplay - urworstknight - 2025-10-20
hello all!
i have two PC's both with win 10, PC A is my server, PC B is where my media is stored and everyday use PC... PC B is stronger then PC A. can i run a second server on PC B to create the trickplay images faster then move them over the PC A? if so is there a guide to set this up? i don't have the images saved next to the media either, but I'm ok with them being stored on the server PC. i know PC B would be better for the server but i doubt i could game and run the server on the same PC at the same time if transcoding is used. i found some trickplay folders with images in the c:\jellyfin\mediafolder\ area
PC A:
AMD 5700x CPU
NVIDIA 1050ti GPU
8 gig ram
caddy reverse proxy
PC B:
AMD 5800xt CPU
NVIDIA 3060 12 GB ram GPU
32 GB ram
