Please keep us updated! Very curious to see how it does with the updated gpu.

@AttackPanda No problem! I will be more than happy too

LOL that was my first thought. Can Jellyfin transcode 4K to 1080p with this new hardware for streaming. I’m hoping OP gives it a shot.

I believe you mean a jellyfin server (as opposed to some jellyfin client), right? Does it serve you as good as it should? Of course transcoding is off-limits, but does 1080p streaming run smoothly on the client(s), even with high bitrates?

That’s correct yes. The server runs fine I average a load of less than 1 during a stream. However I do have to use the Applications as using the web interface for the larger files really chugs along.

Thanks for clarifying. So serving video while serving the webinterface is asking too much of it? Or is the bottleneck actually in your client device?

Yeah, the decoding is too much. So offloading it to the device makes more sense. My average load while streaming is 0.5

@Lemmchen I do not have any tools currently to do power consumption - however I will think about getting one before the #RaspberryPi5 ships

I think the Pi5 has a vcgen command to output power consumption, but I’m not sure it’s available for the Pi4. Just an idea to play around if you’re interested.

I’ve got my info from here, look under “Media Encoding”: libreelec.tv/2023/09/28/rpi5-support/
