Hello everynyan,

So this is less so a pirating question and more a setup question. Hope that's okay?

I'm recently getting back into pirating with streaming going down the shitter. I can catch up on best practices w stuff like the mega thread but I basically want to setup a media device for my parents to stream stuff I pirate.

Any of you have recommendations? Only real catch is I don't want them to have to do much besides turn something on and off. My mom has gotten a lot more computer literate these last years but fiddling w stuff will definitely put her off.

Things I've considered:

Plex server, not really thrilled about streaming stuff straight from my house
SBC w/ whatever media app is easiest these days and just delivering a new drive w stuff now and then

Thanks, -shitass

Download/stream anywhere: They exposed it to the internet. Either through port forward or through a forward proxy like traefik, nginx, caddy

Always on PC issue: The cloud is just someone elses computer. If you want to run a little server and don't require loads of cpu/gpu power: Intel NUCs (or equivalent) are a very good option. Very small and compact and the included iGPU is enough for a 4K HDR live transcode.
Doing that with an Intel NUC 11th 1135G7 and Jellyfin
