The other day I wanted to watch a movie. I had it all set up. I started streaming Jellyfin to my tv. The movie started playing at 5 frames per minute....

Turns out my pc can't handle heavy transcoding at all. It also doesn't have a gpu, so that doesn't help.

Will it not play the raw movie if you are on LAN?

Also, many CPUs have hardware transcoders these days, so I’m not sure which Jellyfin supports.

Download all content in HEVC level 5.1 or below and it should play on everything without needing transcoding

Forget transcoding, have it in a playable format.You can run that on a toaster.

Doesn't need a GPU, your CPU might have a transcoder, just need to configure it in Jellyfin.
