I actually run Plex/jellyfin on a separate nuc since I don't think my synology CPU could transcode very much. The benefit is that I got a nuc with quicksync that can handle probably ~8 4K transcodes without causing any CPU load or any noticeable power usage, I haven't tested how many simultaneous it can do but the goal was just to be more power efficient than CPU transcoding on my old rack server.

I don’t have the upload speed to stream 4k anyway so I play it on a local PC to my home theater system. It pushes atmos to my Sonos system and 4k hdr to the tv so I’m a happy camper

Me neither, it's more so that I can be sure I have the power for a local 4K transcode + as many remote 1080 transcodes as possible, since I share with ~10 friends/family members. I think my quicksync should be able to handle ~20 or so 1080 transcodes but it usually doesn't go above 5.

Also lol at whoever is down voting us for discussing our transcoding setups
