I have media stored remotely [changed by TDP] that I access over Wireshark VPN. I'd like to set up jellyfin locally (he's not interested in implementing on his side) for lan viewing in 1080p. It has been suggested that [changed by TDP] I connect to the library via rclone and I'd set up a cheap intermediate server here to transcode and bridge from the VPN to lan.
I'm looking at cheap thin retired business machines to use as the intermediate on my side. I figure it'll have to transcode due to the lack of consistent source encoding and I'd use the Intel chip to do so. What is the minimum intel generation I ought to go for? I saw an i5 7700 for cheap. Would this work or do I need a more recent chip?
Any thoughts or lessons from experience on the overall set up?
