Unfortunately, my CPU does not support quicksync; I'm using dual E5-2650v2s in the server that hosts Jellyfin. It's been a while since I researched it, but I believe that Haswell was the first architecture with quicksync; my CPUs are Ivy Bridge. I've been wanting to upgrade for a while, but it really comes down to the fact that it runs all of my VMs and containers just fine, and there's always somewhere else I find to spend my money.
Regardless, the Jellyfin docs say that tone mapping is only supported via CUDA, which would mean I couldn't use quicksync anyway.
I thought the same with Android TV, but at least for me, it doesn't work at all; I've tried two different Android TV boxes, too, and they both have the same problem.
I wish I could find everything in SDR or at least HDR10, but that's not always an option. I've found several "Linux ISOs" that are only available in DV, and some where the only option is 4k HDR or 1080p, and I really prefer to avoid anything below 4k unless absolutely necessary. 4k SDR is always my preferred format, though.
I'd guess that Plex uses ffmpeg internally, which would be the same as Jellyfin. I've been looking at both the P2000 and P4000, but I'm leaning a bit toward the T1000 because of the newer architecture. Good to hear that the P2000 is working for you.
Do you transcode 4k with tonemapping? My P400 does a great job as long as tonemapping is turned off, but that doesn't do much to help me play HDR content. A GTX 1070 would be a great solution, and cheaper than some of the other cards I'm looking at, assuming it can do what I need it to.
I usually only ever have 1 concurrent stream, too. It'd be nice to have a GPU that could support 2 just in case both of us in my household want to use Jellyfin at the same time, but it's certainly not essential.
I haven't tried MPV, but everything I've tried so far results in the typical green and purple image, unless I do hardware tonemapping on the server. I also don't much like the idea of having to load an external player on every device either, especially my Android TV box.
Upgrading my GPU seems like the best solution; I just want to make sure I get something that will do what I need it to.
Thanks! I never though to use that search term, but it's giving me a lot of good results. I live in a rural area, so there aren't always a lot of contractors that work out here, but I'm fairly close to a major city. I'll probably just start calling around and see if they're willing to take a job where I live.
Thanks! Adapting the command you gave to work with snap will be fairly easy. Regarding a backup of config.php, I've tried to do that, but with a snap install, I get a permission denied error when I try to enter the config directory, and you can't "sudo cd." I'll try logging in as root or changing permissions.
I've said this many times before, but it seems relevant here, too. Using a reverse proxy is a good step for security, but you will still want to block certain incoming connections on your firewall. I block everything except for our cell phone provider, my partner's employer, and my employer. We will never be accessing my network from any other source. At the very least, block everything and whitelist your own country; this will prevent a lot of illegitimate connections. If you're using pfSense, the pfBlockerNG plugin makes this very easy to do.
I was a bit confused about this as well. Once Threads implements ActivityPub, what would federation with lemmy.world actually look like in practice? I understand how federation works between Lemmy instances, but how would a microblogging platform fit in? Would Threads users just be able to post to Lemmy, or would it somehow show up in a Lemmy community when a Threads user makes a post on Threads?
I'm not really understanding how two different services like Lemmy and Threads can be intercompatible.
I run a pair of PiHole instances for DNS on my home network, and I periodically check the logs and look up blocked domains that I don't recognize. Every single time, it's a service that provides telemetry for mobile apps. It's insane how much data apps try to collect.
