I tried disabling encoding which work for some clients, but for clients that don’t support direct stream like the web interface or the official app that isn’t enough.

All my media is MKV and it still does that, that’s one of the main reasons why I want to upgrade

I have to agree with such websites; every time I try to encode a movie in Jellyfin on my Pi 5, every service I host there freezes for a few moments.

I haven't bought any hardware yet, this is just what I am currently planning to purchase.

I'm kinda cautious about purchasing second-hand stuff from the internet, especially stuff like that. Any tips on how to approach that?

and others come with RAM, CPU, Storage, etc.

But won't that just cost way more than building it myself?

Hello there, I would like to upgrade my setup from a Raspberry PI 5 to something more capable of running Jellyfin properly. I also plan to host stuff like Nextcloud and some other small services.

The problem is I don't know anything about choosing hardware. I've tried reading online about this stuff and come across many recommendations to buy an NUC, not knowing I would have to purchase every component individually.

I would like your comments on the setup I currently have:

NUC Type: ASUS NUC 14 Pro Kit (RNUC14RVKI300000I)
Operating System - Still haven't decided yet, probably something easy like Ubuntu server
CPU - Intel® Core™ 3 100U Processor
Chipset - Integrated
Graphics - Integrated - Intel® Graphics (C3)
Memory - Adata 8GB DDR5 4800MHz CL40 SO-DIMM
Storage - Western Digital Green SN350 1TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe WDS100T3G0C
LAN - Intel®, 2.5G LAN
