There is a chart on the jellyfin page about when transcoding happens. The server will video ranscode when you are attempting to play content the the client does not support or you are hitting the bandwidth cap or you enable subtitles for a client that doesn't support the subtitle's format. It will audio transcode when the audio format of the content is not supported by the client.

There are a few days to see if it's transcoding. You can check the logs or you can disable transcoding for the user account. When you attempt to play something the client will grow an error.

I have mine setup to only do audio transcoding. This is easy for any vou to do. For all my content I do my best to ensure morning requires video transcode.

With two bay NAS, I believe it depends on how you configure the file system. You should be able to upgrade to larger storage taking one drive out at a time.

I setup my NAS this year and just went with 4 bays and 18tb drives. I didn't want to think about my storage and I was committed to having a hands off solution that I should have to touch except to upgrade packages on.

If your in the US, check out whole foods, they have some local roasters in the coffee section. I found paper plane coffee this way which is in NJ.

I set my server to power cycle each day and be off for a few hours to prevent my self from any issues with the mono runtime that jellyfin is using.

I wonder if .net is on the roadmap....

You can, but you'll be limited to USB drives for expansion after the internal drive is full.

Do you know if your current media requires transcoding?

I'm running my server off the Synology NAS, but this is really the most expensive way to run JUST jellyfin.

I would recommend picking up from Dell outlet or similar a desktop that has spacw for additional drives so you can put some larger drives for all your media needs.

For external access, I use tailscale.

I've spent may hours playing the following:

Judgment Rites Starfleet Academy: PC --with lost missions expansion Star Trek 25th anniversary (Gameboy and NES versions) Star Trek Armada

Less popular games:

The PC version of this game was my preferred version. Especially network play.

Yeah there is a ton of Star Trek stuff on eBay that isn't too expensive.

I think you can use Synology photos as the backup for the images and this as your front end ... But not sure haven't done it.

I would never rename

Yep just can't stop once you start, but find it dad you get an end game while the fruits are still moving. I think I did ok as a first time.

Nice, I switched the main TV to Google TV, but my other den TV still has a Roku client, can't wait to see how this works on it.

For me I love the Roku client, but the lack of support for embedded subtitles was killing me for my local rips :(
