ThinkCentre Tiny M900 - OK for 4K? - superduper - 2023-11-13
Hi All,
Looking to setup a Jellyfin server on an existing ThinkCentre Tiny M900 (Intel i5-6500T, 8GB Ram, 1TB ssd, etc). I will be transcoding mostly 4k content to one device only.
Would this spec be sufficient? I know the 6th gen doesn't have quicksync so hoping I can get some clarity from others here! Thanks!!

that has an Intel HD Graphics 510/530 gpu according to the spec sheet https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkCentre/ThinkCentre_M900_Tiny/ThinkCentre_M900_Tiny_Spec.PDF
according to jellyfin the minimum is 6 https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-selection
it could perhaps do the job but being able to get the drivers may be an issue

if it is existing then i would just try it out and see what happens, nothing lost but time if it does not do the job

A lot of 4K content is going to be HDR. And Skylake doesn't support 10 bit color. We recommend Coffeelake (8000 series) as a minimum both because of important codec support and better performance.

i was under the impression jellyfin didn't support -> HDR transcoding, is that not the case?

It does not. But you need to have the capability to transcode and tone map everything in your library. Just in case you play your media on a non-HDR capable device.
