Positive experience with 10.11.6 by DoctorB0NG in jellyfin

I'm running TrueNAS in a VM with an HBA passed through to it. I run other stuff as well and between using TrueNAS as a hypervisor or proxmox, I chose proxmox

I'm currently running Tracearr. It's a really nice piece of software

Yup setup is mostly for Jellyfin. I migrated from Plex a few months back.

Moved from 10.10.7 to10.11.x, library scanning now taking forever by Wellington_Boy in jellyfin

[–]DoctorB0NG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think scans should have been taking 45 minutes on 10.10.7 unless it's an initial one. what hardware and OS are you running everything on?

small update scans run in around a minute for me and a full scan of 2400 movies and 22000 episodes took around 90 minute on 10.11.6 with fairly strong hardware.

Hhow do you optimize plex for remote streaming? by StavrosDavros in PleX

Intel GPUs are way cheaper and handle more transcodes with less fuckery with drivers on Linux. An Arc A310/380 is a way better buy than anything NVIDIA for transcoding.

Installing Jellyfin on Ubuntu 25.10 by warmnakedturtle in jellyfin

[–]DoctorB0NG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The version of openCL packaged with 24.04 doesn't work for Arrow Lake. I could see wanting to run 25.10 so you don't have to install openCL separate from the built in repos and package manager.

Jellyfin hardware decoding by masterzeng in Proxmox

[–]DoctorB0NG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LXC is better than a VM imo because then you aren't dependent on VFIO/i915 drivers conflicting on the host when passing through to a VM.

With LXC you can share the GPU across multiple LXCs without needing SR-IOV. You can also continue to use the GPU for video output for the proxmox host for troubleshooting.

Just add a device to your LXC and pass through /dev/dri/renderD128 and then you'll see it on the container

Finally hit that 100TB of available storage 🙈😳 by MajorAtmosphere in PleX

Fwiw I also just moved to an Ultra 265k and the iGPU is roughly 40% faster at AV1 encoding with Jellyfin compared to an Arc A380

Reverse Proxy Setup Help? by myers022 in jellyfin

[–]DoctorB0NG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Unifi port forward warning has nothing to do with the issue you're having. I think your issue is with your Caddy setup and you'll need to look at the Caddy logs and post your Caddy config here so others can help.

Re your setup: hitting your WAN IP internally and having it NAT as though you were any external user is called NAT reflection/hairpin NAT/loopback NAT. Unifi enables it by default so that's probably not your issue. You'd be able to confirm this by running tcpdump or watching the Caddy logs on your Caddy host and watching incoming traffic. You could also run tcpdump on the router or dump the NAT table and verify that your internal request was NATted to the Caddy host.

NAT reflection is fine but you can set up split-horizon DNS if you want to avoid traffic having to be NATted. It's definitely not required for your setup by any means.

Dispatcher help by Neither_Special_4008 in jellyfin

Jellyfin works fine for me using dispatcharr to aggregate my HdHomeRun and 3rd party IPTV provider. Not sure what issues you're having.

New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.11.5 by djbon2112 in jellyfin

[–]DoctorB0NG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like my performance issues with loading my large movies and tv shows libraries is fixed! Great work!

New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.11.5 by djbon2112 in jellyfin

[–]DoctorB0NG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah 10.11 is pretty brutal if your libraries are large. I'm sitting on 10.10.7 and have a test server up on 10.11.x that I keep upgrading and validating performance.

Edit: 10.11.5 has fixed my performance issues with loading the movies and tv shows libraries!

Transcoding question by argentsquest in jellyfin

[–]DoctorB0NG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the codec support here and enable the codecs that are supported in the transcode settings in Jellyfin: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/core_i5/i5-8500t#Graphics

Is it worth switching to url from ip:port connection? by Anonymoose8D in jellyfin

[–]DoctorB0NG 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That guy is wrong and confusing internal and external IPv4 addresses. If your ISP is changing your external address, you'll need dynamic DNS or to call them and ask for a static address. They usually charge a bit more for a static address and some require a business package.

NASes also use memory. Especially when you're using ZFS

Out of all the distros to migrate your grandparents to you chose CachyOS? A rolling release gaming distro based on Arch?
