I'm wondering what I'm missing here... I have proxmox, and jellyfin is running on a lxc container, along with other stuff. The whole server uses 10W on idle. It does jump to 35W when transcoding, but is that bad? Is jellyfin notoriously power hungry?
I don't have a discrete video card on my server, I'd need one for transcoding, when I tested adding one, just having it in raised the idle power consumption by 10-20W
I don't use graphic card at all. But I have disabled transcoding for all users. They have to use a client on their device or use Microsoft Edge/Google Chrome (which supports x265) to view content.
