High CPU usage

[Fern_Moonlight]

I'm completely new to this world of streaming, and I don't have that much knowledge about how to properly configure Jellyfin, so maybe I've done something wrong.

At first, I'm using my own computer as a server, but I'm going to get another device soon.

When I'm watching movies on the computer, the CPU usage is normal, both through the browser and the Jellyfin Media Player. But when I try to watch on another device, the CPU usage stays at 100%, and it doesn't matter if the other device is connected via network cable or Wi-Fi. Can you help me? How do I get the logs to show you?

I'm using Jellyfin 10.10.7.

The computer settings are:
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X3D
GPU: 4060 TI
RAM: 32 GB
MOBO: Gigabyte B550M DS3H

Sounds like it's transcoding. Great mobo, BTW. <3

You need to set up hardware acceleration to use your GPU.

Your card should support most decoding and encoding options. Check the matrix further up that page for full support information.

Is that how I should set it up?

Check HEVC, MPEG2, MPEG4, VP8, VP9, and AV1. Decoding those codecs is supported by your GPU. Not HEVC RExt, I don't think.

For encoding, I think you can check both options (HEVC and AV1) as they appear to be supported by your GPU.

ETA: You have to make sure you follow the steps to set up your card for this that are enumerated in the documentation I posted earlier. Just enabling HWA is not likely to work.
