  • It really depends on how you want to deal with your media. I want the best copy of movies that I can get. So I need the server to transcode but that requires a beefy cpu for one stream or using a gpu ( intel iGPUs are great for this) for more. Unfortunately accelerated transcoding requires to pay for plex pass. If you really need hardware transcoding and don’t want to pay you could go with Jellyfin, though it’s harder to set up and doesn’t have clients for as many devices.

    One thing is that there are reasonably frequent discounts on lifetime plex pass which is what I did.
