Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC?
(lemmy.ml)
Hello just making a poll, which one do you prefer? personally I prefer x265 but since the rarbg falldown i've seen that almost all 1080p rips are in x264, what do you think about that, and do you recommend any place to find more x265 content beside those in the megathread?
Not sure of your use case but shouldn't it only matter what your client (Roku, Fire stick, etc) is capable of playing or are you using the Pi as a client? If the former, the Pi should just act as a file server regardless of the format (provided it's all compatible with the client) while the latter will cause the media to be converted if it can't be played directly.
~~It might have been an issue with my set-up. I was trying to use the Jellyfin web version from my computer, which probably was not serving the files correctly. I'll have to test again soon to see whether fixes were made in the last 2 years for it :)~~
Never mind. It's because I was using Firefox, which doesn't support x265 due to licensing issues.
