I recently got a crazy deal on an 832 ZimaBoard and I’m hoping to use it to replace my beefy old gaming pc as my media server setup. I aim to achieve 7 concurrent 1080p streams and at least 4 1080p transcodes on either Plex or Jellyfin.

If you have a MiniPC or a Zimaboard, what’s your maximum number of concurrent streams and transcodes you’ve achieved on Plex or Jellyfin?
-
How did the performance fare, especially at peak usage?
-
Any special configurations or hardware tweaks you’d recommend for optimal performance?
-
Do you recommend any low power, small form factor alternatives?
Thanks for reading!
This says the CPU it comes with has quick sync so you should be good to go with hardware transcoding. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/95596/intel-celeron-processor-n3450-2m-cache-up-to-2-20-ghz/specifications.html
