Maximum Users

[dynamite_blonde]

Hi,

What's the maximum number of users that can be connected to the system at one time?  Could I stream to 4000 users on the same network?

TIA,

Jellyfin is meant as a personal media server. While theoretically this is possible, you're likely to encounter MANY bottlenecks along the way, including drive I/O, network throughput, ISP speed, and likely you'd garner some attention streaming to 4k people at the same time.

The overhead for non-transcoded media is minimal, though there is definitely a limit there as well. Jellyfin is not meant as a commercial solution and does not cater to that sort of feature set.

This would be on a local connection, LAN only, 10G backbone.

Is there a commercial version, or similar, to Jellyfin?

I am not aware of a commercial-grade open source solution. If everything is on a local connection w/ 10G, your limits are disk I/O if everything resides on the same disk as well as a theoretical network limit of bitrate x streams.
