Does anyone run one of the above on a Pi 4 and can share their experience how good or bad they run?

If course, transcoding won’t be any good and OCR probably cannot run in parallel, but aside from that - is it okay?

Currently running everything on a mini ITX with a i5-6600 which handles this easily for my small use cases, but also draws 20-30W idling most of the day… I’m eyeing a Pi 4b with 8gb RAM but don’t want to spend the money and then realizing that it doesn’t run smooth enough

    Wow, that’s a crazy and impressive setup! Pretty amazing what’s possible with something so low power that it could run off of battery and possibly solar alone…

    Having such a setup for travel and emergencies is a cool idea, I’ll have to put it onto my “possibly some day” list :)

      Thanks, and yeah, it’s been fun putting that all together. Unfortunately I’m still learning FreeCAD so they’re not as integrated as I’d like yet, but as soon as I have time to hammer out a design, I hope to have all 3 of these and the UPS/power supply in a nice case.

      Yep, running/charging it from solar is why I ended up getting that chonky 18650-based UPS board. It’s the only one I could find that could combine 5V input and battery without dropping out (battery kicks in immediately if solar insufficient and draws the difference between input and output and charges and powers simultaneously otherwise).
