saajan4u 79 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hi All I got my hands on a very good condition HP micro server. I am planning to user Windows server 2019 on it as i am confident administering that. I know the micro-server CPU is very dated and will struggle to do the basic trans-coding., So heres my question, Can i stick a graphics card to tell emby to use that for trans-code? also, budget is tight, so what would be the cheapest graphics card i get away with 4k. most likely to be an eBay job there wont be more than 2 stream ever. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 That should work. Just make sure it's got enough cooling. It'll get hot when transcoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6768 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Depends which HP MICROSERVER it is. I don't think it would fit an N36L/N54L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBers 6768 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Not sure if it's worth it to be honest. I have friends and family who have the N36L and they are able to Direct Play everything. I'd also install Windows 10 instead of Server 2019, as you don't need a server OS for Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
