I am considoring selling my newly purchased 923+ and go to a 423+ instead. The issue lies when I playback certain home videos and movies as with transcoding, cpu of the 923+ gets hit hard casuing buffering. I am hosting Jellyfin on it which serves the content.
I also have two other options which include re-encode all content to a supported format by most players on my android devices and TVs or else I host Jellyfin on an external HP elitedesk micro pc with an AMD ryzen 5 2400GE which I use as a Proxmox server and 64GB Ram. The downside of having another PC running is the extra electrical cost which I can maybe mitigate by having the PC only run with Wake on Lan and switch it off when not in use (It will require teaching my parents on how to use it). Most videos are family videos as well as a library of 1080p and 4k movies which I will need to encode to x264 or compatible format. I have some x265 and old mpeg1/2 videos from an old camcorder which will need transcoding.
