Ah, thanks.

Hmm?

If the projector supports apps, maybe it can run Plex/Jellyfin? Otherwise maybe I would have another small Pi or a small laptop or something that would use the projector as its output. I’m assuming the projector doesn’t support HDR so a regular browser connecting to Plex could work.

I just use my HDR-enabled smart TV to connect to Plex and Jellyfin. 🤷‍♂️

My future plans include setting up a NAS storage and connecting that to a Pi which would be always on. The Pi would be a torrent seeder, and a Plex/Jellyfin server as well.

This way my trusty desktop computer can rest after being on 24/7 for like 4 years now. Poor thing.

I haven’t tried this yet, so I can’t report on how well it works. But maybe it can serve as inspiration for you.

Great explanation! I didn’t know anything, now I know something. 🙏

Tldr.: no, you won’t get the same result

What I’m saying is, shouldn’t you?

How does that work? Aren’t two encoders of the same format supposed to produce the same output for the same input and configuration using some given algorithm? Otherwise I’d consider them different formats/codecs… 🤷‍♂️ Maybe that’s wrong of me?
