Some would even argue that shrimps is bugs.

As an old anime fan, welcome to the club lol

Sylvester Stallone's Rocky origin story is punching its way onto the silver screen with Peter Farrelly directing (www.joblo.com)

A struggling actor with a partially paralyzed face and a speech impediment writes a script that a big movie studio wants to buy, but he refuses to sell it unless he gets to play the lead. Turning down an offer of life-changing money, he instead works for pennies to get the movie made with himself in the starring role. The movie...

Stallone?

His mom owned a salon in the 70s. She didn’t really get famous till the 80s/90s, well after her son.

You can easily do smooth 4K HDR transcoding with any modern Intel CPU with integrated graphics.

I have an Intel N100 and it can probably handle 2-3 4K HDR transcodes at once. Definitely more if they’re being transcoded down to lower resolutions. Encoding is the most intensive part of the process.

I use QSV hardware acceleration with Low Power h264 and HEVC encoders enabled, plus VPP tonemapping on Jellyfin. I have Prefer OS Native DXVA or VA-API decoders checked (apparently this is needed for VPP tonemapping) and also Enable Tone mapping checked so it can fallback onto OpenCL if VPP doesn’t work. Thread count set to Auto. Preset is set to medium. h265 encoding CRF of 25, h264 encoding CRF of 23 and I have Throttle transcodes enabled, which seems to increase the number of videos I can have transcoding at once due to not transcoding more than necessary whenever a player has enough buffer for the moment.

This is on the latest Jellyfin linuxserver.io container with the OpenCL-Intel docker mod.

Also, not sure if this is a factor but I’ve got 16 GB of single channel RAM on it and I use a USB-mounted SSD for my cache and transcode folders. In the past I ran into bandwidth issues by having my transcodes be on the same drive as my media.

I get 4K HDR to 4K SDR tonemapping plus 7.1 Dolby TrueHD to 2.0 AAC transcoding at 70-75fps with my setup.

Transcoding of 4K down to lower resolutions is even faster. 4K HDR to 480p SDR runs at 191fps.

I took a look at the benchmark script those results are from and compared them to the ffmpeg commands auto-generated by my Jellyfin server for actual transcodes.

Here’s how the command to transcode a 4K HDR 10 bit HEVC with 7.1 AAC audio to 4K SDR h264 with 2.0 AAC audio looks on my machine:


<span style="color:#323232;">/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -analyzeduration 200M -init_hw_device vaapi=va:,kernel_driver=i915,driver=iHD -init_hw_device qsv=qs@va -filter_hw_device qs -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_output_format vaapi -autorotate 0 -i file:"/Films/Man of Steel (2013)/Man of Steel (2013) Bluray-2160p Proper.mkv" -autoscale 0 -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 -threads 0 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map -0:s -codec:v:0 h264_qsv -low_power 1 -preset medium -look_ahead 0 -b:v 7616000 -maxrate 7616000 -bufsize 15232000 -g:v:0 72 -keyint_min:v:0 72 -vf "setparams=color_primaries=bt709:color_trc=bt709:colorspace=bt709,scale_vaapi=format=nv12:extra_hw_frames=24,hwmap=derive_device=qsv,format=qsv" -codec:a:0 libfdk_aac -ac 2 -ab 384000 -ar 48000 -af "volume=2" -copyts -avoid_negative_ts disabled -max_muxing_queue_size 2048 -f hls -max_delay 5000000 -hls_time 3 -hls_segment_type mpegts -start_number 587 -hls_segment_filename "/transcodes/53a1ea6d1a7a34b888e73230f9ff04e2%d.ts" -hls_playlist_type vod -hls_list_size 0 -y "/transcodes/53a1ea6d1a7a34b888e73230f9ff04e2.m3u8"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>

And here’s the command that benchmark runs for 10-bit HEVC:


<span style="color:#323232;">/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -benchmark -report -c:v hevc_qsv -i /config/ribblehead_4k_hevc_10bit.mp4 -c:a copy -c:v hevc_qsv -preset fast -global_quality 18 -look_ahead 1 -f null - 2>/dev/null
</span>

So I’m gonna go out on a limb and say there’s a major difference in configuration between the two. Setting global_quality to 18 is kind of absurdly high quality for hardware h265 encoding. You can easily get away with 28 for “good enough”. My setting of 25 for the CRF of h265 encoding is already edging into placebo territory for most videos. That’s all without considering the impact of low power mode, extra_hw_frames, etc.

The transcodes folder exists by default and the cleanup defaults to daily, I think. You’d only need to mess with the configuration for transcode caching if you want them to stick around for longer

Starship Troopers. Yes it’s worth watching. It’s both an excellent satire of a society dominated by its military (it’s portrayed as if it’s an in-universe propaganda film) and an extremely well crafted action film.

It was directed by Paul Verhoeven, the same guy who directed RoboCop and Total Recall.

What CPU does the server have? How much RAM? What’s the RAM’s speed? Are you using an SSD as a cache?

There’s no way anyone could say what the performance would be without knowing what the machine you’re running it on can do.

Beelink is a brand with a fairly large range of machines.

entropicdrift,
@entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yeah, this. It ought to handle all of them no problem. If you run low on RAM (doubtful), you should switch from Windows to Linux, but you’re probably fine with 16GB.

The first major update in over a year is coming out in the next week or two.

Apparently their build pipeline was a major issue for a long time, now that it’s fixed they’re planning to do major releases a lot more regularly.

I’ve been following the development in their discord channel and tracking their general github issue progress.

This big release is coming, for sure.

They’ve been in feature freeze while testing it for over a month, now

I'm thinking of buying a Lenovo Duet 3 for running linux. Which device would have better compatibility?

There’s two models - the Duet 3 which comes with a Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 @ 2.55 GHz CPU, and the 3i which comes with a Intel Celeron N4020. I would rather use the Duet 3, due to the cover, and since I am already familiar with the feel of the device due to having owned a Surface Pro 4, but I’d like to choose whichever works...

Chromebooks use a customized Linux kernel with often proprietary code included from the manufacturer. Same thing as Android in that sense.

Upstream Linux, using mostly open-source code, does not have these bits of proprietary code in most cases. This means that ARM devices are frequently missing some drivers under mainline Linux, so things like TouchPad, wifi, or even GPU might be partially or fully unsupported.

Armbian Linux supports a large number of devices using mainline Linux with some tweaks to it pre-configured, but typically you’re not going to get every feature of the hardware supported until several years after its release (like 5+).

x86 on the other hand usually will just work out of the box, especially Lenovo laptops.

I mean, sometimes it’s that and other times it’s just that the “stupid” feature was actually in high demand.

Japan is notably more xenophobic. No matter how long you live in Japan, even if you manage to get full citizenship (which even celebrities who have lived there for decades struggle with), you are never considered “Japanese” by the native-born Japanese people.

The USA on the other hand is comparatively easy to become a citizen of and has laws banning discrimination based on race and national origin for employers. A citizen is a citizen is a citizen. The only job in the entire country that requires you be born as a citizen is the POTUS.

@entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Right, but in Japan it’s legal for businesses to racially descriminate against both potential customers and potential hires. During the height of the COVID pandemic, many businesses had “No Foreigners allowed” signs due to the perception that COVID was spread by foreigners. In the US there’s lots of controversy over racism, but in Japan you don’t hear about it because it’s generally the accepted status quo.

In Japan, it has until recently been a

To be clear, I’m not saying the US is not xenophobic. What I am saying is that from an American perspective, Japan is even more so.

If you’re gonna spend that level of money, you may as well go for an M1 Mac Mini. MacOS is a Unix flavor and in the new 10.9 version of Jellyfin it actually has the best hardware transcoding support. The M-series chips are video processing beasts for the money/electricity

entropicdrift,
@entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yeah. Linux, Mac, and Windows are all officially supported by the Jellyfin server project. Everything else is not.

You probably want EndlessOS

If we took material like rock from space and got it back to Earth enough times, would Earth grow as a planet?

As the title says. I’m actually thinking about this hard with my friends because everything that’s produced on Earth stays on Earth so it doesn’t change size, but what if it’s not from Earth but it stays on Earth?...
