Media Transcoding

My Daily Update: Today, I detailed my progress on building a micro SaaS product that turns text, emails, and eventually images into fully formed calendar events. I demonstrated the MVP on a web page, discussed how users can edit event details, and noted future plans for a Chrome extension and mobile integration. I also shared my self-hosting journey, explaining the challenges I faced with media transcoding on Plex due to deep virtualization layers and the lack of proper GPU pass-through, which led to CPU throttling and overheating. I described how a VPN test revealed flawless streaming from California, highlighting the complications in my setup and my plans to switch to a containerized environment or use Jellyfin for improved performance. The update provided technical insights, learning curves, and plans for refining both my product and self-hosting setup.
