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?
Is it Intel?
If so I would use GPU acceleration
Edit: I see it is a N100. Definitely use hardware acceleration. I would also make sure that you run your media though Handbrake if it is in raw form.
