I’m currently using a https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc2-home-cloud-two/, which has this cpu: Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex-A15 2Ghz and Cortex-A7 Octa core CPUs.

It is obviously not enough for real time transcoding, which is ok because I do not want it. But getting subtitles out of files and other remuxing tasks are slow as well, I’d like some more power without building a full custom hptc.

Is an intel NUC worth it? Or is there any other significantly faster raspby-clone?

      Same, it’s a great machine and I’ve had no issues so far. It can even transcode 4K without breaking a sweat

      Are you running windows on it or did you change?

        nah running ubuntu 22.04 LTS on it. Only way to get tonemapping to work properly is to use unix. Runs like a dream, also have nextcloud running on it and some other person stuff. love that little box.

          Ok great, I think I know what I’ll get to replace my poor old laptop. I’ll likely pick up the i5 version.

            honeslty the i7 is overkill, i5 is perfect. ive done 6/7 4k transcode to a browser as a test and barely broke a sweat
