Hello, to you all.
I am trying to solve a problem I faced due to my weak hardware.
I am running Jellyfin 10.10.3
This is the machine specs, let's call it B:
I have another machine let's call it A.
Now the problem is the hardware is very weak, It can't handle playing one stream!
It can't even buffer in real time even if I don't skip anything from the content.
Tried to play with hardware acceleration with no luck, setting any settings caused the player to crash (Fatal error)
Since I have another machine I tried to search for solutions that can do the setup I want, and found 2:
This is machine A specs:
Now I can install Jellyfin directly on machine A, but where is the fun part this way?
Any suggestion ?

- CPU: AMD A6-5350M
- GPU: Integrated AMD HD Graphics
- RAM: 12GB
- OS: Linux

Since I have another machine I tried to search for solutions that can do the setup I want, and found 2:
- Tdarr, which looks like something that has the same idea I want to implement.
But from my understanding, it deals with converting the media files, not transcoding them on the fly.
- rffmpeg, it does exactly the thing but machines should be Linux on both ends.
The only solution I can think of is installing a VM on machine A, to be able to establish a connection between A and B using rffmpeg.
This is machine A specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7-6800HS
- GPU: RTX 3060
- RAM: 32
- OS: Windows
Now I can install Jellyfin directly on machine A, but where is the fun part this way?
Any suggestion ?
