Wow, I never considered that too many cores may be the issue. I will for sure try that.

I believe my cpu is compatible, but I believe this is not iGPU transcoding. Pretty sure my server does have an iGPU (although I’ve never actually plugged in a screen so I can’t be sure). I will research passing through either of those.

I also read that it’s possible to use a different server for just transcoding. I have an old laptop I’ve been considering setting for that, but it’s network speeds are shite.

IDRAC logs show normal temps

I have jellyfin installed in a VM with 24 cores and 32GiB RAM

I have a couple of vms on my server - truenas, pihole, etc. One is for my media - arrs in docker containers and Jellyfin installed (not at container as it wasn’t binding to the media dir properly)
