    Thanks for the detailed answer. You are correct, and now that you mention it, it is indeed Synology's DSM that was blamed for the lack of compatibility with Jellyfin. But since most of my content is in 4K (even though I do not know how many of them would be affected by the lack of tone mapping), I have opted to go with the mini PC instead. The Beelink S12 Pro was on sale, n100 CPU and 16 GB Ram (which I understand is not really that relevant for media hosting). So I am pursuing the setup of my nvidia shield as client, the beelink to host the jellyfin server, and my DS214p will remain my NAS.

    Let me know if you have any advice or anything that I should look out for when setting up the server.
    I was thinking of rolling with OMV and docker for jellyfin, seems rather straight forward. But I still have plenty of reading to do.
