Jellyfin is excellent. You can always just download it and run it on whatever you’re running your existing setup on and give it a try. The server’s available for a bunch of platforms.
Fleddit in June 2023. Was on kbin for a while but it’s been broken and janky lately, so I’m giving midwest.social a try now.

I have a regular-ass Amazon Fire TV stick 4k max that I use to play my Jellyfin content. It has native hardware support for h.265. I can’t remember the last time it needed a stream transcoded. Of course, it is encumbered with the Amazon ecosystem, but it was cheap.
I also have one of those $20 Walmart Android TV boxes. The UI is a little slow in it but it plays the same Jellyfin content just fine, and you can replace the stock launcher on it with whatever you want.
Update: I wound up getting one of the Chinese mini PCs from Amazon. $300+tax got me a Ryzen 7 5700U, 32GB of RAM, 1TB NVMe storage, and a single 2.5Gb ethernet port. I can add a second interface via USB-C if necessary. Really not bad at all. I have Proxmox up and running on it already, with PiHole and Jellyfin already running in LXC containers. Jellyfin took a bit of screwing around to get the CIFS shares from my NAS and hardware-accelerated transcoding going, but everything works now!
It was one of the earlier podcasts to blow up huge. It used to be great.
That’s a pretty reasonable ad load. Have you listened to 99% Invisible lately? Each episode is about 10 minutes long, and it seems like at least 50% of it is now ads and sponsorship stuff.
Seconding this experience with Mint 21.3, although on a laptop here. I just wanted something that works without much fucking about, and it delivers.
