That aside, the DS224+ has the same CPU as my DS920+ and if you use the iGPU to transcode, your performance should be fine for a single user or two (maybe more depending on the content).
What exactly are you trying to improve with the upgrade?
Thanks for your answer.
I don't really understand much about this and I'm very new to Jellyfin and self-hosting video streaming (and video, in general).
When I first set up Jellyfin and started using it I noticed some videos with big size, 4K HDR and so on would play perfectly while some crappy quality ones would stop every 10 seconds until the NAS finally crashed and I had to unplug it.
With the help of this forum I understood that happens when a video has to transcode for whatever reason. So now I make sure I add external srt subtitles for files with embedded image subtitles and that I don't use any 10-bit H264 files as my TV doesn't seem to support them. However some files still give me issues and I don't really know why, maybe the audio codec or something.
I'm just hoping I can transcode with a better NAS, even if it's just the 600MB 1080p SDR files and not the 30GB 4K HDR ones so I stop having to stress about identifying the cause of the transcode and looking for a suitable replacement.
I don't really know what's tone mapping, I just googled and it seems it's converting from HRD to SRD? If that's the case I don't think I need that as my TV has HDR.
So I think it would be worth buying it then? Thanks.
