My plan is to have a capable media server (i.e. Plex Media Server) in the backroom, and stream video to Plex Media Player to a device connected to my TV. For the player device at the TV, I'm thinking of building a compact and silent device, and came across Intel NUC.
I also want the ability to just play video from a NAS, which means the decoding would be done at the HTCP, and want a capable Intel Iris video processor for HEVC and 4k
What would be the optimal Intel NUC kit, board, chassis to play 4K, current HDMI, and fast enough to display on the TV?
For a chassis, I've been looking at Streacom ST-NC1. But upon further reading, it seems like every Intel NUC is designed differently and needs a different chassis model.
For the mainboard, I want something capable and not struggle with 4k HEVC video.
Thoughts to get me started?
