I used to have a jellyfin server on an old desktop but now my only spare computer is a raspberry pi. It should be able to install the app but would a raspberry pi 3b+ actually be able to run a jellyfin server at a usable level? I'll probably mainly use it for CD rips, so it shouldn't be super demanding but the raspberry pi isn't super powerful either. What do y'all think?

If the client doesn't support the codec or resolution of the media then it'll need transcoding

I found using Kodi helped resolve video codec support in my case. It was for AV1 nlon the Chromecast 4k, which doesn't support AV1, it seems to mostly work for smaller AV1 encodes. I guess it is using software decoding.
