i think you should not put AI LLM load on your GPU if you want to transcode video at the same time.

I have a N100 intel CPU for media playback and the on-chip GPU is quite capable for such a small CPU. It can transcode most Codecs and does hardly break a sweat for one transcoding stream. It also does not transcode constantly but works on a block, saves it to be streamed next and then works on the next block. at least with Jellyfin.

Not sure if Plex is really worth the money, but i love my Jellyfin server. =)
