    Yeah, I’ve got a full *arr setup so far - just need to iron out a few kinks before I can consider it “done”. Mainly just dealing with my server computer being incredibly slow with - I assume - transcoding.

      If you’re steaming on your local network you should be able to disable transcoding on your clients.

      Man for me it’s the iGPU via Intel.

      I have an i3 with an Intel IGPU and it’ll murder any transcode I throw at it.

      If you don’t want to rebuild… I think a quadro 2000? Is the sweet spot for cost vrs power.

      But do your own research… I’m really rusty when it comes to suggesting gpus for servers.

      https://www.serverbuilds.net/ is a great resource for that stuff. They have handy transcode guides there

        Sadly, my current server is an old all-in-one, so adding a GPU will be difficult. My plan is to make due for now until I can get some proper hardware.

        The current plan is - rather than bringing the hardware up to spec - I’ll try bringing the spec down to the hardware, by pre-encoding everything to something like H264. (While keeping originals, since I have the space.)

        Thank you for the response and the resource, though! I’ll definitely check it out!
