Technology, video, phone & computer questions
#15
RE: Technology, video, phone & computer questions
So you want to build a hosting server rather than an HTPC? I've gone back and re-read what you've said a few times... transcoding on the fly to devices with that processor is probably not going to get the job done.

Your first step really would be to find out what formats each of the devices have in common (for native playback). Converting the files to a common codec will in the end provide smoother playback on all devices as well much faster seek time (since the computer doesn't have to transcode).
