Hi I am currently struggling with deciding between Pis (all variants e.g. Orange Pi) and Nucs as I can’t find any for a reasonable price. Do you guys have any recommandation for me? German/European Stores maybe? I am looking for the best efficency to performance ratio for a low price. Basically just small computing units that I can cluster ideally in a 1U Rackmount.

    I haven’t managed to get the GPU properly working when passed through to a Jellyfin docker container, I think you need to recompile ffmpeg or something. If you can get that working I imagine the G610 would be great for it.

    Software transcoding though has been great, I don’t need it too often but it’s a lot beefier than the Pi4 so I’ve had no troubles.

    I don’t know much about other alternatives, but my understanding is they’ll mostly be between the performance of the Pi and any RK3588 board like the OrangePi. When you’re looking for one, make sure it has an armbian image.

    Edit: I managed to get hardware transcoding using docker.io/jjm2473/jellyfin-mpp.
