I've been running a Jellyfin server on a rPi 4. This works great on my own tv since it's a new tv that supports just about anything you throw at it. The problems start when I want to watch a movie on another (older) tv and transcoding is required. This makes watching movies impossible (5 seconds transcoding, 1 seconds watching). I was thinking of buying a rPi 5 but quickly decided against it since the rPi 5 still won't do hardware accelerated transcoding.
But, I can get a used Gigabyte Brix with a J1900 celeron (+4GB RAM and 120GB SSD) for about US$45. I know the J1900 has QuickSync Video, but it's a slower Celeron than for instance the N3550 so I'm not sure that will solve the transcoding problem.
Does anyone have any experience with the J1900?
