Hello, I'm running Jellyfin on a Synology DS124 I inherited and it works great except when it needs to transcode, it can't. It's only used for Jellyfin with a single client, an LG 4K tv.
Unfortunately I can't afford a mini pc right now but I've been given the opportunity of getting a second-hand Synology DS224+ with upgraded RAM to 6GB for a reasonable price.
Apart from being a hardware improvement it also has 2 bays so I could install the software including Jellyfin in a cheap low capacity SSD and leave my current NAS HDD as storage.
Would this be a worthy investment? Could I now transcode? (Mostly 4K files with image based subtitles)
If anyone owns this NAS I would appreciate your input. Thanks.
