Until I wanted Plex to start transcoding video durring the pandemic, I happily used a Mac Mini from 2008 as my home server, which itself was an upgrade from the Intel Geode FitPC I had been using for years before that. Like most things, it depends on what you're doing with it.
- goodoldneon 5y agoWhat necessitates the transcoding? Is your TV unable to support some formats?
- donatj 5y agoYep, a lot of my content at rest doesn't work with the individual Plex clients. What's supported by the Plex client directly varies by individual client. I have for instance quite a collection of old DivX and Xvid content and I don't think any of the clients support that natively.

- gh02t 5y agoOh man, Geode! That's a name I haven't heard in a really long time. That was AMD's attempt to keep the Cyrix IP alive, right?
