This is where my confusion is... on KODI, the clients transcode, and I was told on Jellyfin, the server transcodes.
Does this mean that on top of a server, I still need something like an N100 mini PC at each TV?
Also, Intel ARC, I've heard about them, never looked into them... from a gaming/general use standpoint the GeForce has always done me well. What does the ARC do so well, that my GTX1060 will struggle where the ARC will be a beast? Plus, which ARC? Looking online, they seem to range from an A310 ($140CAD) to an A770 ($610CAD). From what I see online, the ARC A380 ($170CAD) is equivalent to a GTX1060 like I already have.
My hope was a server (old PC) and the Jellyfin Google App on each of the two TVs. The one TV especially, I want full quality... I don't want to waste my drive space with a 10,000kbps mkv file, if it's only gonna play at 2,000kbps... know what I mean?
