so like ram, storage and like cpu in intel terms (basically the only one i could find and understand)
i will be using plasma bigscreen, running my jellyfin server, maybe play some steam games (decently light ones), maybe run a minecraft server, watch youtube, stream like netflix etc.


fair enough
i already have a jellyfin server on my familys old ass laptop, but its kinda meh so i thought hosting it on this streaming box would be a good idea AND im always connected to the server (in my room where the box is of course). The minecraft server thingo isn’t really needed and the same applies to the steam games
What problems did you run into with your existing jellyfin server?
can’t connect for some reason
The better solution to your problem is a set top streaming box that doesn’t suck and troubleshooting your existing jellyfin server.
Doing that will save you significant amounts of money.
Do you still have the laptop jellyfin server?
yea i still have it
Okay, what can’t connect and what’s the error?
Are you trying to connect by ip in your web browser to port 8096 like <server internal ip>:8096?
im using the jellyfin app on my chromecast, and when i try to log in it says “Unable to connect to server” or something
Try to connect to the jellyfin web interface using a computer and web browser by going to <jellyfin server ip (like 192.168.1.10)>:8096
You can find out your jellyfin server ip by typing “ip address” into a terminal on your server if your jellyfin server is Linux or macos and “ipconfig” into a terminal on your server if your jellyfin server is windows.
