Anyone tried running jellyfin on a rasbpi?
Anyone tried running jellyfin on a rasbpi?
i kinda wanna buy one to toss it in my backpack with a 2TB ssd full of movies and stuff to have a zero latency netflix anywhere i go.
im just a little bit confused because jellyfin docs say that its not a good idea at all to run it on a raspberry pi (or any other single board computer), so i thought i'd ask here if anyone has done that. i mean, just one user shouldn't be that much for a raspberry pi, right?
I've run it on a pi 4 with no issues(streaming 1080p). If you're not casting to another device you might want to check out Kodi though.
+1 for Kodi in this situation.
Probably depends on the raspberry pi but jellyfin tends to be pretty heavy duty on its hardware requirements. You can probably get by on a modern raspi with transcoding off
I ran it on a Ras Pi 3B+ and it did ok with 1080p and below. There were a few movies that had stuttering issues, so I'm guessing the Pi's better with some codecs than others.
