Hi everyone! thanks for taking the time to read this - I'm new to NAS and it's applications so please bear with e here.
The school I work here for currently checks out DVDs for students that comes here. I'd like to remove that and just load all available titles onto a NAS and allow students to stream from there rooms using the existing bluray players.
We have this building with 15 rooms furnished with a small older LCD TV(I think 28 inch?), and a Sony BDPS380 blu-ray player. Each room also has 2 network ports.
What I'd like to do is to get a NAS / or build a media server capable of streaming media to these rooms simultaneously. At our fullest, we house about 13 students at a time.
My concern is if at least half of that number goes and watch something using the bluray player, how slow the connection would be and what hardware would be best for this application.
Thank you for reading!
