I'm interested in setting up a jellyfin server that will only serve streams to TVs on my LAN. Files will be on an existing NAS. Usage will be low (probably just one stream at a time); cheap and reliable is the name of the game, and cheap includes power consumption. I am thinking of some kind of NUC but don't know enough about jellyfin yet to decide on specs. Any recommendations for a specific NUC model or CPU/GPU? I assume I will be running linux - any distro recommendations?

I used an old Thin Client (HP t630) for exactly this. I didn't used transcoding because all of it was used locally So it was fine.

Now i'm using a Lenovo Tiny with an Intel CPUs (i5 6500t) and some transcoding because i'm using it remote sometimes.
