how many users are you expecting to require transcoding from 4k down to a lower resolution at the same time?

4k will not be allowed to be transcoded .

Only 1080p files and below can be transcoded

Number of users will begin to increase . Max 20 users

generally this old hardware only makes any sense if you are ok with high power consumption.

 

for your budget i would get an i3 10100 and use the iGPU for transcoding.

power consumption is not an issue and the number of users  that will be on it will max out the 10100 quickly . currently taking a look a refurbished HP Z workstations

I suppose the cheapest option if you want more than 8 cores is still LGA 2011 - do be careful though, there are two versions of LGA 2011, one using DDR3 ("X79") and one unsing DDR4 ("X99") which are not compatible with each other. The E5-2670 v2 mentioned by Linus falls into the first category.

 

You don't necessarily have to use ECC memory with these CPUs and generally server motherboards will also work with non-ECC memory just fine. However if you do buy a used server motherboard and a Xeon CPU, using registered ECC memory is not a bad idea anyway as it can be had a lot cheaper on Ebay than regular RAM.

thank you for this info . i will do my proper homework once i start shopping around . just wanted to ask firs . thanks again 

hello all

im helping a friend build a plex server and after researching it seems more cores are better when it comes to many users who are transcoding .GPUs are a no go since they have many limitations .

after watching linus's last video where he was able to get a fast cpu for such a cheap price, he also added that you can even cheaper with two E5-2670 v2 CPU and a mobo which comes out under 200$ for the whole thing .

so i have 2 questions 

1. are there much better performance at a total cost of around 500$

2 after using xeon based boards their can be some odd requirements such as a necessity to use ECC ram what kind of road blocks might i hit ?

regards

I'm feeling fine and dandy. How about you?

good thanks

its been a while since i came back here

how are all of u guys doing

because of drm i think ur limited to maybe 480p (its a linux issue) ?

be sure first

its sad how much people missunderstand what tor is and how it works

FBI's FUD is working very well

Dude, excellent fucking point. I agree. As an intelligent species, our first concern should be existing, not trying to apply our intelligence to a greater understanding of the universe we inhabit.

 

Along those lines, lets do away with the multi-billion dollar entertainment industries such as movies, music and video games because these are distractions as well. Literally!

i do agree with the above might people are stubborn. Entertainment has taken a new form and effected our social structure, Instant gratification has ruined a generation

i think its too soon for me in the lift time

we might reach singularity before we find and inhabit a earth like planet

It literally is going somewhere. The Earth-Sun L2 point, specifically.

i meant space isnt going anywhere. it will exist for a long time

we might not

thats why i said its a distraction (this need for discovery)

so a conquest to learn more about the universe and possibly find signs of other intelligent life is a waste of money?

yes. its a distraction. maybe in the far future its a good idea

it isnt going anywhere.

what a waste of money

final cut pro doesnt have any kind of magic encoder

there is something happening here

if AMD coldnt fix the issue it sounds like a hard ware issue

also at 96 boards there will be a X10 MTK for sale  soon dual core A72

this is fuckin stupid

just get rid of all the ports -

wireless charging and wireless data transfer

its gonna be like micro sd all over again

they will try to ignore it but then it will just come back

i thought u said Lionel Richie

.i was like lol what

they should make high clocked 4 very large arm cores. around the 10+ watt area

how about u guys first get hardware acceleration working first

ahh 4.2.2

i knew things were changing at apple when they were talking about pokemon go

sad times
