      The fool decided to talk to a girl instead of spending 180hrs+ downloading, compressing, formating, naming, indexing, installing, hosting and trouble shooting.

      This is why China is ahead they got this figured out, they just got rid of the women.

      The other day I wanted to watch a movie. I had it all set up. I started streaming Jellyfin to my tv. The movie started playing at 5 frames per minute…

      Turns out my pc can’t handle heavy transcoding at all. It also doesn’t have a gpu, so that doesn’t help.

        Download all content in HEVC level 5.1 or below and it should play on everything without needing transcoding

        Will it not play the raw movie if you are on LAN?

        Also, many CPUs have hardware transcoders these days, so I’m not sure which Jellyfin supports.

          To your point, there can be a little groundwork to get cpu transcoding to work right with Jellyfin on Linux. It’s a little easier on Windows.

        Doesn’t need a GPU, your CPU might have a transcoder, just need to configure it in Jellyfin.

        As others have said, GPU may not be required.

        I use a 2019 SFF desktop (no dedicated GPU) for Jellyfin, and transcoding for my 65" TV hardly increases cpu.

        If you can figure out why it’s transcoding and fix that, it makes a big difference. Mine transcodes because of subtitles and there’s no fixing it (the Tizen Jellyfin app is the problem - I’m just glad to have the app at all).

        The key is to know what formats, aspect ratio, etc, your TV handles natively and save files in that version. Fortunately my TV handles MKV natively but Jellyfin on Samsung doesn’t respect the Display Aspect Ratio flag, so I have to hard convert everything to square pixels in the proper aspect ratio (16:9,4:3, 3.5:3,etc) based on the original source. It’s a little extra work but scripting ffmpeg solves it. Future devices will surely handle square pixels and forced aspect ratio fine.

          Do you save the source video as well? And does the jellyfin ecosystem have anything where I can have multiple copies of a video and it switches based on transfer conditions?

    Fucking a. I have everything set up nicely through streamio to just work but every time I have somebody over the fucking real debrid service goes down and I look like a real dummy.

      It’s likely the scraper. Torrentio is getting really bad. I highly recommend adding the elfhosted comet.

      Can I interest you in a NAS and an old laptop running debian plugged into a TV, with the Ethernet cable running to it duck-taped to the wall?

      Asking for a friend, what is the point to debriding and what service do you like to use yourself? Stremio has been working for me without one for awhile

        For me it’s just a bit slow and stuttering. With debrid you have more links that are super fast and usually in better resolution. I use premiumize.me and i like it. It’s on the more expensive side, but i did a 2 year deal on valentine’s day or something when it was heavily discounted

      Its been my experience at least that once a site gets too good it gets shutdown. I got tired of that dance so I just properly setup radarr and Sonarr with Usenet.

      Saved but also “half hour downloads” are a thing of the past with gigabit fiber and usenetting

        Kinda depends on what your downloading. Movies in the 2160p resolution are getting into the 10s of Gigs. And you still need a seed with comparable bandwidth serving the file you want.

        People are kinda weird when it comes to habits. A lot of people have seen my kodi setup that i have been using and tailoring for a decade. They like it, and when i ask them if i should show them, they are like naaaah, i wouldn’t know what to watch, and i just record and skip commercials. It’s not THAT expensive, and football and whatnot.

      Half hour? For anything with more than one Russian seeder you just wait ~60 secs for the first couple bytes then you can begin copying your Linux ISO to disk immediately.
