I’m taking down my big Supermicro server to save energy and moving Plex/Jellyfin/*arr to a spare 10th gen Intel NUC with SSDs. Performance is fine for DirectPlay media to my SHIELD and mobile devices, but the onboard GPU power is limited and struggles to even transcode some 1080p media – let alone 4K. Does anyone have experience using eGPUs in a Thunderbolt chassis with a NUC and can you share what worked or didn’t work for you in terms of hardware and configuration?
Edit: this is an i7-10710U with NVMe storage and 32GB of RAM, running Windows 10 with all the latest drivers directly from Intel.
Does AMD have something like this? I have a Ryzen 5 small PC with proxmox and I wanted to use Jellyfin and transcode video
The only thing I could find was this but looking further looks like jellyfin supports only AMD GPUs for HW transcoding. Give it as try, it still might be enough for you
Not true. It also does intel; https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel/. I got an nvidia card working with hacky terminal workaround as well. it’s been rock solid for almost a year now.
