Hi all, I have a Proxmox server hidden away where it annoys nobody, and a small PC I’m the TV cabinet that I need to turn On/OFF every time I use it and when a movie needs to be transcoded, the fan spins like crazy.
Have anybody tried to use a Windows VM and share the desktop with NDI? In this way I just need an NDI decoder behind the TV and all the job will be done by the server.
Any thoughts about this?
Edit: NDI: Network Device Interface: basically it’s an audio/video (and intercom) transmission over IP with low latency. The sender could be an hardware encoder or a software.
TBH it sounds like you’re doing this on hard mode. I use and recommend a Roku streaming stick (which does support netflix 4k) and jellyfin. You’re using proxmox so you’ve already accepted a proprietary component to your stack. Unless you are using the PC in your tv cabinet as a PC, it will be sub-optimal as a client device for streaming services via TV compared to a Roku or equivalent.
