Hey everyone!
I'm very new to the self hosted media space (as in I have never done something like this) and I need some help from you good folks here as after lots of research this amazing software seems to fit my use case the best.
My use case is both simple and complicated. All I want to do is stream my film and tv collection. The catch is all the media is going to be ripped from my 4k blu ray collection using MakeMKV and if there is no 4k release of a piece of media, it'll be remastered by myself to be as high quality 4k as possible.
From my understanding from the research I've done, multiple 4k streams are a lot more hardware intensive than multiple 1080p streams and so the hardware must be a certain spec to be able to handle it.
There will be 6, maybe 7 4k endpoints that I'd like to have access to the media in the server. It will mostly be using the Apple TV 2022 128gb version because (as far as I can tell) there isn't native support for Samsung Smart TVs and I'd like to keep the setup for this as simple as possible.
In terms of my hardware build, everything but the GPU will be brand new and although there isn't a set budget I'd like to be as budget conscious as possible.
The current build is:
Case: Fractal Define 7 Black Quiet Mid-Tower
CPU: i5 13600
Motherboard: ASUS TUF B760-Plus WiFi D4
RAM: 32gb DDR4 3200
GPU: Nvidia Quadro RTX 5000
Boot Drive: 1tb Samsung 980 Pro
Storage: 20tb Seagate Ironwolf Pro
Power Supply: Corsair 750W 80+ Gold
OS: Windows 11 Home
The two things I can't change are the GPU because it's something I have from my old workstation and the OS. As much as I despise Windows 11 I have never used a LinuxOS before and I'd prefer to know how to do any troubleshooting in case anything goes wrong. Everything else is open to change
Although there are at most 7 4k endpoints, realistically only 2 maybe 3 will be used at once, but I'd like to build this server to be able to handle a worst case scenario.
Thank you all for reading and for any support or guidance you can give!
And thank you to the amazing team at Jellyfin for developing this software for free! It's truly incredible and an absolute godsend to people like me! 💜
