Limit ffmpeg CPU usage (no Hardware decoding/encoding)

[I-G-1-1]

At the end I gave up on trying to add nice/cpulimit to the ffmpeg executable.

Instead I added to /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d/override.conf:

Code:

[Unit]
#CPUWeight defaults to 100 for all processes on the system. Setting a low value still lets process use the CPU if nothing else is effectively keeping the system responsive for other tasks while not slowing down the results much. This is a arbitrary weight integer.
CPUWeight=100
#CPUQuota is an absolute limit on how much CPU time is granted even if nothing else is going on. This is a percent value. In my case it wasn't really necessary to set this to fix the resource hogging issue.                                                               
CPUQuota=90%

I still need to test "transcode throttling". 

Thanks for the help
