CPU: As above, ondemand governor with the Max Frequency Limit set to 1800mhz.Thank you Diet Pi, this otherwise would have been quite painful. You really don’t have to touch the command line at all. It also contains quite an impressive set of programs that make getting up and running dead simple, and there are scripts for installing pre-tuned software. It’s a barebones minimal install of Debian Linux, but what it really shines at is being optimized for these single board computers. My needs are pretty minimal: I need to be able to transcode up to 1080p files to at least one client (my projector) and sync files to my various devices (phone, tablets).īeing performance sensitive, I went with Diet Pi as the operating system.

Sound greats, but I could find no documentation on whether this thing could actually meet the requirements needed for Plex transcoding, and what the state of the Plex software transcoding is on ARM processors. The Odroid XU4 has a number of things that make it an ideal candidate for a small, low-power Plex server or a very nice and compact client. Is the cheap Odroid XU4 single board computer up to it? The problem is that streaming and syncing is a very CPU intensive task and requires a server of substantial processing power. 1080p and commercial free, sorry Anthony.
