I’m currently using a https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc2-home-cloud-two/, which has this cpu: Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex-A15 2Ghz and Cortex-A7 Octa core CPUs.
It is obviously not enough for real time transcoding, which is ok because I do not want it. But getting subtitles out of files and other remuxing tasks are slow as well, I’d like some more power without building a full custom hptc.
Is an intel NUC worth it? Or is there any other significantly faster raspby-clone?
I’m using an old refurbished dell thin client that I got for 30 bucks on eBay. Works really well. Can recommend
Lenovo Tiny m920q desktop box I believe. It’s been pretty great with everything I’ve thrown at it, and quick-sync has been working as far as I can tell, though I’m streaming to my workstation 95% of the time so I rarely have to transcode.
Orange Pi PC (Allwinner H3, 1GB LPDDR3, HEVC support built-in). I was skeptical that the HEVC decoding would actually work with Armbian as it does with OpenELEC but it would seem so. At least I’ve had no problems with it while I previously had severe transcoding delays for x265 videos when running Jellyfin on a RasPi 2.
