I run a few services from home as Docker containers. They run on a desktop PC that sits behind my TV. It's a Ryzen 7 1700x processor, 32GB RAM. I run Plex as a container on this host and it's pretty good, but I have some issues with transcoding when I put subtitles on 4k UHD movies. CPU goes to max and video doesn't play. Turn off subtitles and it plays fine.
By sheer coincidence, I found this post on Reddit the other day. This is the exact spec of machine I use (Ryzen 1700x).
The big desktop PC behind my TV is an eyesore in my living room. I've went and bought an N100 PC, which arrivies today. I'm going to run some tests with Plex transcoding. Looking at the codecs supported on both processors below I'm hoping for some good results. Fingers crossed it improves transcoding + smaller physical footprint + reduced power consumption. Will update when I run some tests
