@nyakojiru The RK3588 and RK3566 are fantastic SOCs. At least 4GB RAM. An eMMC is much more reliable for the boot volume than a microSD card.

This won’t be able to do any live transcoding, so make sure your clients are configured for direct streaming.

You can get fairly large USB 3 flash drives and microSD cards for compact local storage. A NAS is better than local storage for a media server, though.

@kratoz29 That’s mainly so I can access the cameras back home to check on the house/animals. They are on a subnet with no outbound access.

@1bluepixel There’s no telling what the internet situation is like at the vacation home. We’ve been stranded before with no internet where it rained all week.

@obinice Only for maybe one or two nights where we do a family movie night after very long days outdoors. It was just a fun thing to build for the fun of it.

@wesker In theory, yes. It was just easier to have separate devices.

@blewit For sure! This is only for family movie night after long days on the beach.
