I’ve been running Jellyfin on a Synology DS923+ for a couple years with ‘linuxserver/jellyfin:latest’ with no issue until that big update recently. Suddenly it’s borked…extremely slow speeds, failing to play files half the time, stuttering even when it does play. It was time for a hardware update regardless; it was a miracle that the NAS was able to run as many services on it as it was anyway.

So I built a Proxmox machine with the intent of adding hardware acceleration and transcoding (ideally I’d like to stream to a couple old CRTs): -ASRock B760M PRO RS -Intel i5-13500 -2x32GB Crucial DDR5-4800 -1TB WD SN850X NVMe

Using the Proxmox community Jellyfin script (https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=jellyfin&category=Media+%26+Streaming) I set up an LXC and the iGPU is supposedly being utilized properly. I added an NFS mount from the NAS’s media folder to the Proxmox host, then bound the mount point to the LXC. So at this point, it is accessible to clients via web browser, but I’m having a few issues:

  1. (Probably a Prox issue but…) Jellyfin isn’t seeing all the media. I added all the libraries and did a full scan, but *maybe *10% of the media is actually available. Hopefully this is a moot point because–

  2. My old docker config isn’t available. I made an NFS mount from the NAS’s docker folder to the Proxmox host and tried to route it to the LXC as well, but the Proxmox-NAS refuses to work so I’d need a workaround.

  3. I have no idea if my transcoding settings are right. Intel’s specs for my CPU and Jellyfin’s recommendations seems to conflict slightly, but between both sets of info there’s still some settings that lack guidance. Basically, can someone with a computer engineering degree double check my settings? I tried a screenshot, but Lemmy didn’t appreciate it
