How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything (sh.itjust.works)

This is something that has been increasingly prevalent with my server, for the longest time I could torrent, have two people watching and everything's fine, but lately, especially with specific shows, it will take upwards of a minute for a show to start.

I've looked into it and the culprit is ffmpeg most of the time, I assume this has something to do with the specific files not having transcoding "baked in" but I don't know enough to know if that's the case. Can anyone help me optimize my pipeline at all?

Does turning off subtitles at the settings level avoid this? Like if I turn subs off for all users will it stop it?

Until users turn them back on

AFAIK there’s no setting to outright disable subs. Maybe there is one somewhere, or you could strip them from media, but that’s terrible because subs in is always the correct choice. What can help is running the extract subtitles plugin though that won’t help for format.
