I have a i7 4700 cpu and a low profile GT 610 card on a media pc. My jellyfin server has a 1080 GTX used for hardware acceleration. I also have a good gaming PC, but if possible I'd like to keep that out of this.
The media pc is connected to a samsung tv from 2018 and a stereo receiver capable of all formats. All in LAN.
I spent my entire day yesterday trying to find solutions on how to get 4k and dolby dts-hd to work. The media pc is weak and seems to have issues rendering that much data.
I don't know what actually happens on the client side. Is there a way to lighten the load? Is it already decoded and the client just renders? If so I reckon there's not much I can do, but if jellyfin transfers data that needs to be decoded by the client then maybe there is a way to decode on my main computer or my server and just render it on my media pc?
I'm grasping at straws in order to make this work. I don't want to do a partial upgrade for a new gfx card on an old computer. So any advice is welcome! Thanks!
