I believe you mean a jellyfin server (as opposed to some jellyfin client), right? Does it serve you as good as it should? Of course transcoding is off-limits, but does 1080p streaming run smoothly on the client(s), even with high bitrates?

That's correct yes. The server runs fine I average a load of less than 1 during a stream. However I do have to use the Applications as using the web interface for the larger files really chugs along.

Thanks for clarifying. So serving video while serving the webinterface is asking too much of it? Or is the bottleneck actually in your client device?

Yeah, the decoding is too much. So offloading it to the device makes more sense. My average load while streaming is 0.5
