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?
I’m running an old laptop with a 2nd gen i5. It can transcode video of it has to, but still be at 100% cpu lol. Transcoding audio is no issue for it. Anything above the spec of my old laptop are going to work great. That would be the i5 2nd gen with 4gb of RAM. Lol
