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?

Thanks for all the recommendations. I went with this:

OS was Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It was surprising how easy it was to set up Jellyfin. I thought it would be a lot harder but it took very little effort.
