Building a production-grade Netflix alternative?

Scaling Jellyfin for remote 4K streaming requires an infrastructure-first approach.

✅ GPU Transcoding: 4K-to-mobile compression.
✅ RAM Disk (tmpfs): Zero SSD wear.
✅ Nginx Proxy: WebSocket & SSL.

New Halide blog post on post-processing for chroma as it is relevant to compression efficiency: https://halide.cx/blog/chroma-handling

Seems like you can get a roughly 2% efficiency improvement with 4:2:0 decoder output just with smarter post-processing for chroma. Pretty neat!

Peertube, MultiTrack Video, random ramblings - Livestream 2026-02-02

Was anyone aware that OBS now offers "Enhanced Broadcasting" aka Multritrack Video? This offloads video transcoding to the person that is streaming their content and off of the servers themselves.

This is the single biggest cost of hosting a livestreaming server. If users are willing to use what's in their system we can make the bar to entry incredibly low.

Ah the Immich transcoding has a bug where the tone mapping is broken - transcoded HEVC video thumbnails are very dark with NVENC. Not sure if it happens with other encoders. I’d love to use av1 but my old hardware doesn’t support that…
