I am in the process of "building" a NAS/Media server/docker platform.
I have been hearing good things about Jellyfin, https://selfhosted.show/89
I do not have a GPU other than the onboard Matrox G200eW based on a design from the late 90's, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrox_G200
but I do have a metric boat load of decade old CPU cores.
Dual socket E5-2695 v2, Ivy Bridge, 12 cores 24 threads (x2) @ 2.1-3.3 Ghz
By modern standards Individually these cores are anemic but there are a lot of them, Will Jellyfin make use of all those threads and cores to transcode? do you think it will transcode 4k to dumb boxes like "smart" tv's and Roku's? is it going to pull down 1,000 watts to do it? Auxiliary heat for the winter?
