player error while hwal

The entire Arc lineup has the same media engine. Getting the A310 will get you the same transcoding performance. The only difference that matters for Jellyfin is VRAM. But that only comes into play when a client needs HDR to be tone mapped to SDR. My A380 can do ~12 HDR to SDR tone mapped streams.

If you don't need that many tone mapped streams, save yourself the money and get either a A310 or A380.
