I'm pretty thy a newbie when it comes to networking and stuff, but was wondering if it's possible to run jellyfin as a server on my shield. A bit fed up looking at plex and wondering what alternatives I have. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Edit: thanks all for the replies and suggestions.

I'm using a Dell t520. That works really well for me.

But honestly: pretty much every client in that price range should work. Just check whether the (embedded) graphics chip can hardware transcode your media beforehand. And you probably won't run the next Netflix on there but it's more than enough for a family usecase with multiple streams simultaneously.
