1. Servers are exactly the same, CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk, motherboard all from 1 vendor. Videos are the same too for all servers.
2. Before Jellyfin, I have tried 5-6 other solutions, but our network and IT security instructions locking connections for DLNA cast, and this subnet we are using for TV is locked from internet access. Jellyfin was the first software I have found, that works 100% locally without any limitations, ADs, and so on. Last 10 years, local IT guy was using VLC running on EACH PC locally, using sharing folder with videos. And when our marketing department rolls a new request to change playlist (1-3 times a week), he manually connected to all PCs via RDP to update playlist and restart media player.
Thanks for pointing Icecast 2, I will definetely check it out. But since my 3 out of 4 servers are working smoothly, I would prefer to stick to Jellyfin by far.
