Jellyfin on a Windows VM with NDI scren capture (lemmy.world)

Hi all, I have a Proxmox server hidden away where it annoys nobody, and a small PC I'm the TV cabinet that I need to turn On/OFF every time I use it and when a movie needs to be transcoded, the fan spins like crazy.

Have anybody tried to use a Windows VM and share the desktop with NDI? In this way I just need an NDI decoder behind the TV and all the job will be done by the server.

Any thoughts about this?

Edit: NDI: Network Device Interface: basically it's an audio/video (and intercom) transmission over IP with low latency. The sender could be an hardware encoder or a software.

Not if it's what you want, but I had success with moonlight+sunshine. Latency is unnoticeable and picture quality is great as long as the connection between the client and server is good

I've never heard of those, but it seems that are both software and I wonna get rid of the PC connected to them TV.

If you have a smart tv or chromecast ultra, you can install moonlight directly in your tv. If you're still using a computer for the tv, at the very least using moonlight won't make your client computer's fan spins like crazy. You can even replace it with a low power computer like a raspberry pi.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I've never heard of this moonlight/sunshine and I'm curious!

It's mostly used for gaming, but it's more like a souped up vnc with hardware acceleration support and low latency. I mostly use it to access my desktop remotely instead of for gaming. You can tune it between low latency or high quality depending on your use case.
