  • I solved this problem by having all of my media in a supported format of all of my devices so no transcoding is needed. My Pi 4 can transcode two 480p streams simultaneously or a single 1080p stream but can’t do any more than that. However it can stream at least 4 streams simultaneously a mix of 4k, 1080p and 480p. It suits my needs unless I’m transcoding 4k due to subtitles 😵. Hopefully transcoding won’t be required for subtitles forever… right? Right?













  • Thanks for the write up. I am currently using a Roku TV with the Jellyfin client running on it. I’ll need to look into Kodi and sounds like I might need an AVR or set top box. It would be nice if these things (TVs, soundbars) were more open. Maybe we need an open source soundbar firmware, then I could permanently disable Alexa and maybe make use of it’s networking capabilities.
