Anyone have any interesting rffmpeg setups? - Mel_Gibson_Real - 2024-06-09
Rffmpeg is a really cool tool that allows remote trancoding to occur on other systems. This in theory could allow for huge powerful jellyfin setups potentially serving 100s of users.
Has anyone actually pulled this off and willing to share some specs or challenges in setting something like this up?

AFAIK, no one has pulled this off. I recall a few users asking how to scale Jellyfin, rffmpeg was mentioned, but nothing beyond that.

Ive collected a few spare PC ill probably give it a try and see just what kinda stuff you can do with it. Im interested to see how transcode throttling and scrobble HW acceleration works with it

Did you do it ?

Is That configuration is OK for rffmpeg?

Is this device going to be the one running ffmpeg? Or do you want to run Jellyfin on this N150 device and ffmpeg somewhere else?

I suggest you just run jellyfin on N150. rffmpeg will going to work worse and worse when jellyfin's transcoding pipeline integrates with the system more and more tightly. It will generate different command on different OS and kernel version but with rffmpeg it will very likely generate a wrong one (because the kernel running jellyfin is not the kernel running ffmpeg)

100% this. It is much simpler to have your NAS just be a NAS to store all your media than it is to have the N150 device be a remote transcoder.
