How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything (sh.itjust.works)

This is something that has been increasingly prevalent with my server, for the longest time I could torrent, have two people watching and everything's fine, but lately, especially with specific shows, it will take upwards of a minute for a show to start.

I've looked into it and the culprit is ffmpeg most of the time, I assume this has something to do with the specific files not having transcoding "baked in" but I don't know enough to know if that's the case. Can anyone help me optimize my pipeline at all?

So you have absolutely no devices that are a different resolution than you download? You don't direct play 4k on a 1080p screen for example.

I am asking the dude doing the transcoding why he's doing it. I am not waging a crusade against all dudes doing transcodings.

to answer your question, no, I don't, all media I got is 1080p and all my devices can display it.
