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?

Orange Pi PC (Allwinner H3, 1GB LPDDR3, HEVC support built-in). I was skeptical that the HEVC decoding would actually work with Armbian as it does with OpenELEC but it would seem so. At least I've had no problems with it while I previously had severe transcoding delays for x265 videos when running Jellyfin on a RasPi 2.

Oh, hardware decoding, interesting. I will take a look.

Running on 11th gen. Intel NUC11ATKC4 (Intel Celeron N5105), it was pretty cheap (compared to other Intel NUCs) and the Celeron is good enough for running Jellyfin and everything else I run with a good transcoding performance @ non-60fps movies at 4K.

I'm using an old refurbished dell thin client that I got for 30 bucks on eBay. Works really well. Can recommend

I run jellyfin (along with about 20 other self hosted services) on a fitlet2

i got a beelink from amazon with a 8th gen i5. works great. transcode everything i throw at it.

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