Heya, does anyone have experiences with using a pi4 as a Jellyfin media server? I’d like to set it up like that. Do you think a regular external HDD would work as storage space? Will it be possible to have like 3 to 4 devices streaming at the same time?Recommendations for tutorials are highly appreciated!

    I had a very simiar setup with an external 1TB HDD and migrated to an old pc recently.

    Apart from what others have said you might have trouble with RAM, if like like me you have a 1GB variant.

    Also iirc I had bottleneck with i/o, since both usb and ethernet shared the same i/o bus.

    And power, rpis are power hungry, I had to use the official power supply, my mobile bricks didnt cut it.
