    Quote: And for clarity, when you say you didn't set anything up, you're referring to the transcode settings in jellyfin it self, but you have set up the container in Truenas with my recommended values for RAM allocation?

    No i'm referring to this...

    Quote:
    I transcode to a temporary directory created in RAM on my server since I have so much of it, and after some testing I found that throttling after three minutes and deleting segments 5 minutes after they have been played works fine for me, I also have allocated 30GiB of RAM for this directory, since a single 4K HDR movie can use quite a lot unless throttled etc.

    I forgott.... I had setup the transcoding directory in RAM but changed it later to temp directory on disk because of my missing RAM. At this time i had just 16GB. Now i have the full 32GB RAM i was talking about.

    And the nonsense.... i have to figure out some networking stuff. Since the truenas is running i have problems with embedded videos. First i thought it is the pihole app i was setting up next to jellyfin. Today i deleted it because it got me in more trouble i can handle for now. But the embeded videos are still unplayable. So it has to be the server itself.
    I'm a bit worried that i will loos all my media if i tool around to much and loosse the query to the directory or something. 12TB worth of movies and tv shows take almost 2 nights to copy.

    Quote: Do you have a movie with even higher bitrate?
    I dont think so, because after a rip i compress those files with handbrake. compressing from 80GB to about 12GB is a huge space saver. Also, Ballerina is the newest movie i have. So, unless i rip a movie again for testing porposes, i don't think i have one with more bit-rate. but i can take a look, maybe i find one.

    got one.... but it is unlikely that i have one with a higher bit-rate. As long as i don't skipp forward or something it runs fine

    Regarding the GPU... i will order a A310. I hate it if i have to waite if i want to skipp Smiling-face
