Hi all, I have a Proxmox server hidden away where it annoys nobody, and a small PC I'm the TV cabinet that I need to turn On/OFF every time I use it and when a movie needs to be transcoded, the fan spins like crazy.

Have anybody tried to use a Windows VM and share the desktop with NDI? In this way I just need an NDI decoder behind the TV and all the job will be done by the server.

Any thoughts about this?

Edit: NDI: Network Device Interface: basically it's an audio/video (and intercom) transmission over IP with low latency. The sender could be an hardware encoder or a software.

Remove the PC connected to the TV (avoid turning on/off and fa noise) and watch Jellyfin and Netflix

This is what you’re trying to do.

Why not use something like an AppleTV or Roku?

Because do this kind of thing is fun! 😁 And since I share the Netflix account with my siblings, I can only watch it on a PC (with Edge to have 4K 🙈). ...but I'll keep the Roku option in mind. Thanks
