For what needs MediaBrowser Server a graphics card?

[Guest]

Hi Folks, 

 

I recently read, that the minimum System Requirements for MediaBrowser Server are a graphics card with at least 256MB.

 

I'm running my MediaBrwoser Server on an old HTPC which now works as a Server/NAS in my Network.

It has a AMD A6-3500 APU and 4GB DDR3 RAM.

 

I set the max shared memory for the integrated APU graphics card to 32MB, so that I have more memory available for my SQL Server, which is running on the same machine.

After Christmas I want to buy more RAM :-)

 

Should I set my shared graphics memory then higher? Do I benefit from that?

Or in short: For what needs MediaBrowser Server a graphics card? ;-)

 

As far as I can say, MediaBrowser works pretty well with the current configuration.

So I will have no benefit from increasing my Video RAM? Thx

Nope, (unless you are moving your server to your tv-room to watch stuff on).

Since transcoding is an cpu-task.
