Didn't somebody get rffmpeg working with Jellyfin at some point? That's kind of an interesting proposition for this kind of setup. Farm out any transcoding that needs to take place. That makes the networking all the more complex, though.
In theory this is a cool idea. In practice, any network admin worth their salt would catch this suspicious traffic immediately. Particularly because it would probably be run over HTTP with little regard for authentication or other security. As somebody who works in HE and is friends with network admins: some wouldn't care but they'd probably be forced to shut you down and report you if a) they could identify any illegal activity or b) your server caused any disruption to other network traffic. That's not a blanket statement, legal advice, or a green light. Experimenting with a media server is better than the alternative but it could get you in deep shit with the scale you're talking about.
