Heh! Don't let anyone dampen your enthusiasm. It feels great when I am toiling away at something and finally all the pieces click together. I might have to walk away a few times and put the project on hold, but I keep whacking away at it. When it does work, it's always a childish joy that comes over me and always gets a fist-pump.
What equipment are you running that Windows Server on?
Right now its a Thinkpad T480 with 64G ram and 1tb ssd. If it turns out we use Jellyfin enough I plan to get something more powerful for it.
Honestly thats already plenty - 8th gen intel igpu is pretty solid, about the only reason to change from that is going to be native AV1 (enc/dec added at meteor lake, tiger lake for dec only).
My setup is basically the same chip thats in my t480, but in a lenovo tiny. Family and friends make use of it, and it doesn't break a sweat with 6 streams going.
Right on that's great to hear
