I thought that was what a media server was! So, he said "media box," which I assumed meant the client that attaches to the TV. There are some canned solutions for media servers - I think the NVidia Shield can run Plex server for example. However, in general server-side I'd go amd64. My current solution is: 1. Moosefs for storage: amd64 container for the master, and ARM SBCs for the chunkservers which host all the USB3 hard drives. With a modest number of them performance is very good, though certainly not as good as Ceph or local storage. (I do have moosefs in my overlay - might try to get that into the main repo when I get a chance.) 2. Plex server in a container on amd64 (looking to migrate this to k8s over the holiday). 3. Rokus or TV apps for the clients. --=20 Rich
