minus-squareDiabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down2·edit-24 months agoI don’t have a jellyfin server but 1MB/s (8mbps) for each person watching 1080p (3.6Gb per hour of content for each file) seems reasonable. ~3MB/s (24mbps) upload and as much download should work.
minus-squareGenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·4 months ago1mbps is awfully low for 1080. Or did you mean megabyte rather than megabit?
minus-squareDiabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-24 months agoI had a hunch that writing the actual Upload/download speed tather than mbps was probably wrong. My bad, my internet provider lingo is rusted.
minus-squareGenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months agoGotcha. Typically lowercase b=bit and uppercase B=Byte, but it’s hard to tell what people mean sometimes, especially in casual posts. Come to think of it, I messed up the capitalization too. Should be a capital M for mega.
minus-squaredysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months agoWhy don’t people use Mb/s and MB/s which makes it so much clearer what you’re talking about
minus-squareSigHunter@lemmy.kde.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-24 months agoBack in the day, the rule was mbit (megabit) for data in transfer (network speed) and MB (megabyte) for data at rest, like on HDDs
minus-squaredysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-24 months agoSo mbit/s instead of Mbit/s ? But the M in Mega is always capitalized though, except the k in kilo.
minus-squarelud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months agoThe best format imo is MB/s and Mbit/s It avoids all confusion.
