*Also you can just select language(s) for which the subs are downloaded automatically when it perfectly matches the video media. It’s under the dashboard>library>subtitle downloads

I would strongly recommend you watch some reviews first. It does not seal around the mouth and nose. It is just a fan that makes a constant stream of air to your face, drying inside of your nose, making you more vulnerable to airborne viruses, which would also help the ash go deeper into your lungs.

My guess is the 770 would be a bit better. Could not find anything that could compare the two based on video performance and not strictly on gaming/rendering. So my opinion is not to care about it too much.

Let me expand on that.

there is a really nice wiki article about intel hw encoding with color table https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Hardware_decoding_and_encoding

1.1. the color does not show in dark mode on mobile

1.2. Your CPU is under the Alder Lake, so HEVC 12b encode/decode and AV1 decoding. This means you can encode big things into HEVC 12b to save space and also play back AV1 without issues in the future.

my setup and experience

2.1. I have an i5-8400 so I encode everything too big into HEVC 10b. I sometimes watch with 4 other people, so i had to tweak the config a lot to make it work fine when 5 people are watching at once. From my experience, the jelly sometimes just puts everything into decoding the first stream while others just wait. I recommend just setting only 1 core per stream and only like 300s transcoder buffer.

2.2. playback devices do a lot, when using firefox, everything has to be transcoded except h264

on chrome, it usually just remuxes (mkv container is converted into something more compatible) easy on resources

when playing using a jellyfin client, it is played directly

dedicated GPU

3.1. I disagree with the dedicated GPU recommendation as long as you tweak the settings, you’ll be fine.

Test iGPU first, play around with it, see how many streams at once you actually have to serve.

The dedicated GPU is an extra investment for a start and a constant power consumer for later.

the first comment “it’s free, therefore not an ad” destroyed me on an entirely new level

Well let’s just wait for the next “hacarthon” and see who can play DOOM on the pop-up first.

Sorry mate, the best I can do is cake flavor.

• Kofola exec, probably.

Well I’ll just hope you’ll find something that works for you.

I personally had really huge problems in the beginning with this feature, it depends on the file format, if it needs to be transcoded, if the subs are external or in the video container and what your users are watching it on.

I can give you some advice on what to look for, but it will come down to just tinkering with the settings until you find something that works for you the best.

Hardware acceleration is quite important, especially when there are like 6 people watching at once and 4 of them just refuse to watch it using the jellyfin desktop client that actually supports direct play feature (video does not need to be transcoded).

Switching languages of subtitles sometimes mess things up, especially when the subtitles need to be extracted from the video container and then sent separately. Sometimes it just lags the video for up to two seconds. It usually just messes with one person that then is a few seconds behind so not a big deal. Although I recommend setting languages in the very beginning so it does not break sync mid-way.

I also limited the thread count of the single ffmpeg stream to just one. Then i also limited the stream buffer to like 5 minutes so it just won’t try to prepare a 4k movie for one person for the next several minutes. From my experience anyways, when we were watching some movie that is quite big, the jelly went bananas and a single user just maxed out the CPU and GPU. Ever since I set those limits, while also having the hardware acceleration enabled, the sync-play feature caused me little to no trouble. — One of my friends has a slow internet that sometimes likes to drop things on the way and when his net drops out totally, it usually causes some issues and he then has to restart the browser tab. Although rare, it still happens from time to time.

I have an Intel i5 8400 and a UHD Graphics 630. The performance is good enough for my uses and movies play without issues even when 6 people are watching while my dad sits on tv while also watching something else.

Oh yes, now there are also a few other things to worry about. Make sure to check the maximum per-user bitrate the jelly will enable the users to watch. It’s 40Mbps by default, I think. And you do not really need anything above it anyways, especially if streaming over the public internet.

The second thing is having a Nvidia GPU. From what I heard, the consumer graphics card can have up to 3 consecutive video streams running at once. But since I do not have anything Nvidia, I can’t really care, tho I would strongly recommend you checking the GPU limitations including both the encoder/decoder limits and the codec support. This will help you set the buffer limits and codec support.

So full wrap, you’ll just have to monitor your server’s vitals and see if there is a bottleneck. Check your users client compatibility, see if the GPU or CPU is maxed out or if your ISP just isn’t giving you a big enough pipe. It just comes down to tinkering.
