hello,

I’m interested in setting up a jellyfin server that will only serve streams to TVs on my LAN. Files will be on an existing NAS. Usage will be low (probably just one stream at a time); cheap and reliable is the name of the game, and cheap includes power consumption. I am thinking of some kind of NUC but don’t know enough about jellyfin yet to decide on specs. Any recommendations for a specific NUC model or CPU/GPU? I assume I will be running linux - any distro recommendations?

    I got an old laptop from my family for free and I turned it into my jellyfin server (among other home server-like duties). Power consumption is very low (7W idle, up to 28W when playing movies measured at the wall).
