honestly it is good to start with and for controlling machines like an array of 3d printers but a dumpster dive laptop will be faster. RPI4 is quite old now.
with that done:
I think you’re underselling the RPi a little there. I have an 3B+ which is running a few services well and it’s being undervolted so I could squeeze some more performance out of it with a better power supply. My Pi is currently running:
-Pi-Hole -FreshRSS -WireGuard -Gluetun -Libreddit -Deluge
is libreddit going away with the API changes?
How good is the performance of that on a rpi4? Does it work for transcoding videos?
It doesn’t. Not well. And for larger files, even on cable connection without transcoding performance is god awful, sometimes it doesn’t play, or stutters or you get awful audio desyncs. Don’t do jellyfin on rpi
Are you talking about 4k files? Because I have been running Jellyfin on my pi400 for the past two years and I've not had those issues at all. My content is 1080p max though.
Yep, 4k, sometimes with HDR. It was happening mostly on those. But 1080p files were also sometimes affected
I ran JF for about a year on a Pi 2B. Transcoding off at the server. No issues at all playing any file using Direct Play - including large 4K rips. I moved to an Odroid C2, again, absolutely no issues with playback.
If you’re seeing trouble with Direct Play I’d bank on it being network or storage related rather than the power of the Pi. E.g. the network hasn’t got enough throughput to serve the files. In Direct Play you need very little in terms of server resources as it’s handed off to the client.
Dunno, maybe it was storage. I had a SATA to USB3 drive hooked up to it. Couldn't have been network. I got some old office PC with i3-6100 for free, hooked it up to the same cable, same router port and everything is working mostly smooth now, on similar drive but connected directly to SATA
Have you checked if those files are being transcoded? This will depend on the clients used and the codecs supported. I use mine mainly to stream anime at 1080p, the files I get from my current source don't trigger the transcoding (Direct Play); while some older files I had used unsupported codecs and required the transcoding.
it ever performs awfully slow on my secondary computer with i3 cpu.
