Figured I'd throw this in here since it is essentially a PC server build.
Looking to build a media server that can be accessed through client apps on either Firestick and/or Google TV (need to be native apps available in their respective stores, I don't want to side-load and have to play whack-a-mole with firmware updates). Haven't decided yet, but it sounds like Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin will probably be what I'm looking for. I'm also leaning heavily towards unraid mainly for ease of use and a large community of help tutorials.
