Shoutout to @jellyfin - I’ve been really enjoying this piece of software the past few months, and it’s given me the drive to clean up my music collection so it presents nicely in the media library. :)

    I’m wondering what I’m missing here… I have proxmox, and jellyfin is running on a lxc container, along with other stuff. The whole server uses 10W on idle. It does jump to 35W when transcoding, but is that bad? Is jellyfin notoriously power hungry?

      I don’t have a discrete video card on my server, I’d need one for transcoding, when I tested adding one, just having it in raised the idle power consumption by 10-20W

        I don’t use graphic card at all. But I have disabled transcoding for all users. They have to use a client on their device or use Microsoft Edge/Google Chrome (which supports x265) to view content.
