I recently got a crazy deal on an 832 ZimaBoard and I’m hoping to use it to replace my beefy old gaming pc as my media server setup. I aim to achieve 7 concurrent 1080p streams and at least 4 1080p transcodes on either Plex or Jellyfin.

  • If you have a MiniPC or a Zimaboard, what’s your maximum number of concurrent streams and transcodes you’ve achieved on Plex or Jellyfin?

  • How did the performance fare, especially at peak usage?

  • Any special configurations or hardware tweaks you’d recommend for optimal performance?

  • Do you recommend any low power, small form factor alternatives?

Thanks for reading!

    I’ve been thinking on pre-processing my library to be able to serve it on a low level device, have you thought about that option?
    In my case since I know what content I’ll be watching the most in what devices and have the space to duplicate it (since I don’t want to lose the original files)
