There is some discussion regarding JMP (Jellyfin Media Player) and its lack of development the past year. Jellyfin Official appears open to replacing JMP with an alternative, meaning pushing users to a different application.

What desktop clients are people using currently? Are there any in the works that you believe could replace JMP?

If you are developing one, please reply and advertise it here!

You may be right going off this.

Also this is hilarious:

Looks like I'll be looking into a dedicated gpu, and AMD isn't recommended, so it'll be Nvidia.

Before you run off and get Nvidia, take serious consideration of the Intel ARC line. They're relatively cheap and have great transcoding performance. They're supported by Linux out of the box, and I had no problem getting docker passthrough enabled. Unlike Nvidia the drivers don't have built-in limits for how many simultaneous streams you can transcode.

Yeah, I've started looking into ARC as that looks like what Jellyfin supports the best. Would you mind telling me what ARC you are using and how many simultaneous transcodes you've been able to handle? It looks like the Pro A-Series is the best.

I have an A380, but I bet an A310 would also do the job fine.

I've never actually tested the performance of simultaneous transcodes. However, my server generally sees 2-5 active users on a busy night, and nobody has complained about buffering so far.
