Background:

Over Covid, I got really into high quality music and purchased the best headphones I could afford (ATH-MX50) and listened frequently. Once I discovered Jellyfin, a whole new world opened up to me and I began to self-host movies as well as my FLAC library.

Present: My parents want to cut the cord and I would like to help them by setting up a server for them. I’m techy and can handle some troubleshooting.

Requirements:

I’d like for it to have at least 5 profiles, no more than 2 concurrent streams
I’d like to add things to a “queue” from my phone and manage my downloads like that
4k media, perhaps transcodes to 1080p, but the local media is 100% 4k
Be able to SSH (or alternative) for remote debugging

Questions: What hardware should I buy? I’ve built PCs, so mostly, what cpu and how much storage should I go for? I can afford quite a bit, so I’d like to buy the right tool for the job once with upgrades to storage as needed. I know Jellyfin handles profiles, does Jellyseer handle the ability to automate downloads? Is this something the .arr stack can do?

Thank you for all your help, any advice is VERY appreciated. I just want to help my parents cut the cord

They are all about low cost high performance builds.

Quicksync from Intel with an igpu is a god send . I'm running an i3 in my Plex server and it's a hoss.

Good luck op
