Having issues with the Jellyfin client. Won't play a 4K video without stuttering using Direct Play. Transcoding to a lower resolution seems to fix this issue. I know the laptop is capable because it can play 4K video in VLC just fine. It's got a 11800H and a RTX 3050 Ti.

 

Can I use the Nvidia Container Runtime to do hardware encoding for something like Plex or Jellyfin? Does this require iommu? Can it work with Proxmox? Does it only work for one container or multiple?

My board has iommu issues so I am not sure I can do this. It doesn't sound very practical to buy a separate GPU anyway.

Do you have to have Plex, Jellyfin, and Tdarr all in the same container or VM?

 

Is there a way to get hardware encoding for Plex or Jellfin when using Proxmox or TrueNAS scale. I want to do a setup for a media server using containers but I am worried about the hardware encoding limitations.

 

I have a PC I used to use as a file server and media server. I am going to try and set it up again but better. I was using Linux Mint before. I want to setup the Starr apps (Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, etc).

Is it more practical to use Proxmox or Unraid? I am also consider TrueNAS but I am RAM limited (8 GB). I should point out this is fairly old hardware (FX-6300).
