    Hey all,

    I've been hosting a jellyfin server via docker on a GMTEK mini-pc which runs an Intel N150® CPU with onboard iGPU. Looking for some help/advice from more experienced people.

    Recently I've had a few more people using the server and requesting more media via jellyseerr which requires transcoding so I've enabled hardware acceleration and currently it seems to be working with QSV for normal streams (with the CPU usage sitting at a couple %). I've verified the hw acceleration is working via jellyfin logs and also using intel_gpu_top on the mini-pc which shows gpu usage (attached). Logs below:

    My issue is that when I run even just a single transcoded file (even on the same network), CPU usage skyrockets to using the max amount of available CPU threads (4 available) and then even one additional stream basically forces the mini-pc to crash/become unconnectable for a while.

    Everything I've read about an N100/N150 with hw acceleration is that it should be able to support multiple transcodes and the overall cpu usage should be drastically layer over software transcoding. This just doesn't seem the case and I'm not sure why. I've attached my decode settings and can share whatever else would be useful.

    Any help you can provide would be amazing
