foodmonkey 0 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 ok - so upgrading my emby server from a hard working unlocked amd to a new mobo/memory et al need some advice go i5 with a gpu or i7 with lots of memory currently running emby as a docker on rockstor so i'm thinking the i7 with more threads is going to do a better job - that's as long as emby and rockstor can take advantage of the extra threads espeacially when it comes to managing multiple streams - maybe transcoding and as a file server as well any thoughts? @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 No idea about rockstor, but what are your transcoding requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodmonkey 0 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 i'm assuming that emby takes advantage of a gpu whether it is native or running in a docker - but that level of abstraction must entail a performance hit - nature of the beast ive just noticed that some of the codecs in the linux world don't perform so well downstream with various hardware setups the server it self has a two channel SAS card accessing a good amount of drives - file serving tests run at about 60% of the gigabit lan connection (it's only a home server - but it has a few linux boxes accessing it) the btrfs under centos is healthy and well distributed i'm getting stutter and pixelation when under load - and i can't pin point the cause - i'm thinking old amd that has been unlocked to quad core and not enought memory and no gpu assistance so do what IBM used to do with their mainframes - throw some more iron at it and the emby experiemce is a lot different under linux than it is windows - but hey - i use elementaryOS and that probably ostracises me from most forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
