they may be using really slow hard drives or an SSD without DRAM.
or maybe a shitty network switch?
maybe the bandwidth is used up by a torrent box?
there’s a lot of possible causes.
just looking around for now

if the cpu performance and memory capacity is still enough, i’d recommend upgrading the storage. SSDs are reportedly getting more expensive, but it isn’t that bad yet.
running an external drive through some kind of USB 3.X connection would also be possible, although at reduced speed. (won’t matter with a HDD, obviously)
not OC, but i ended up redownloading whatever was x265 and replacing it with 264 or anything else.
also the 1060 in my NAS can do NVENC encoding. that helped a lot with compatibility.
didn’t have money for an external hard drive or anything like that growing up, so a lot of stuff got lost over the years. but when i upgrade my NAS’ hard drive i will buy an enclosure and scrape all of the important stuff together. like recovery codes for my 3ds collection, old photos of my late cat. that kinda stuff. then i’ll see how frequently i’m gonna update the data.
same, this was the last straw for me.
try telefunken, cheap TVs with shitty software. as long as it’s oled it won’t matter very much.
since the processing power doesn’t matter and it’s not being connected to the internet, it can be any chinese underspecced tv as long as the screen itself is good.
oh, okay. random cheapo OLED it is.
30$ monthly subscription rate + 5$ to rent each movie + 2$/hour for 4K. gotta make the business model as profitable as possible, otherwise the shareholders will start selling shares.
publicly traded companies are stupid.
honestly, whoever connected to your TV is probably used to their device being the first one to show up. i would blame the streaming protocol for not requiring one of those one-time pin thingys.
some TVs that are used in a business environment are able to be set up without internet, mainly because the displays are almost always externally driven over LAN or HDMI.
i heard you can buy the monitors hanging over the counters at mcdonalds from the OEM where the “smart” is a module you have to buy seperately. is it something like that, or was it sold as a really big PC monitor?
while often outdated, there are youtube tutorials. you could buy a cheap thinkcentre or set up a virtual machine to try it out.
personally, i run truenas scale with jellyfin as an “app” on my old PC.
yeah, after trying to figure it out for a whole day, i’m tempted to either set up a linux mint vm or just get a slow pc do do it. i don’t care enough.
if i was to build one, i would go for a thinkcentre. easy to get for cheap and perfectly able to stream video (with linux, of course).
i had a transmission jail once, but couldn’t figure out where to mount the jail, and how the file paths would have to look. but a jail seems like the way to go. i might be able to put more energy into figuring that out now.
I found a third party app which basically just opens the web-client and might be able to register itself as the opener app for magnet links. i’m gonna try that one when i get home.
sounds like you might wanna underclock stuff, LTT made a video about a cost competitive gaming pc which is more effficient than an equivalent gaming console. or get something like a rockchip-based Raspberry pi clone with pci-e slots
i may have figured something out, godaddy doesn’t support ddns, but you can change the ip of an A record via the API. and i have found a program that runs under linux as a service that does exactly that. problem is, where in my nas do i run it? do i try to install it in truenas? or jellyfin? or do i create a new jail with the sole purpose of running said program?
If you don’t have one already, it could be turned into a linux-based input device for your TV.
