Do I need to worry about single-device network saturation with Jellyfin on an existing server? in c/main@selfhosted.forum

Very informative, thank you! CPU usage is at least something I can easily measure.

Do I need to worry about single-device network saturation with Jellyfin on an existing server? (alien.top)
 

I already have a home server, running various services, including Frigate which is constantly monitoring three security cameras (via ethernet).

I'm starting to look into the idea of ripping my DVD/Blueray collection and streaming it via Jellyfin, and that would likely be over wifi to the Roku attached to the TV.

My concern is whether this is too much bandwidth for one device. At what point does high-quality movie streaming impact the reliability of the security camera feeds? Is that line so low that it's just best to use a separate machine for running Jellyfin?

What radicalized you? For me it was Spore. in c/main@selfhosted.forum

The big thing that always stops me from going the Jellyfin route is storage space for movie rips. Granted it's been a long time since I last tried, but one movie was something like 8gb of space. How do you deal with either the constant need for more space, or just not being able to store all of your movies?
