I’m looking to get a something to plug in to my TV for streaming jellyfin and streaming games. Criteria:

  1. can play 1080p h264 from jellyfin without transcoding
  2. can stream 1080p 60hz games via steam link / moonlight
  3. low power consumption so it’s not a big deal if I leave it on
  4. runs an open OS (raspian etc)
  5. wifi and bluetooth
  6. hdmi output
  7. less than ~150 AUD (100 USD)

Thanks in advance! Any tips around remote control and/or home assistant integration for it would also be welcome.

    The Le Potato AML-S905X-CC has h.264 and h.265 decoders up to 4k, emmc connector So you don’t have to run off an SD card. I’ve used it as a media player and its pretty damn solid. I can’t speak to streaming games because I don’t do that, so I don’t know if it’s a different format. It does not have a powerful processor, so if the stream is encoded differently I wouldn’t expect it to be very good.

    Its pretty old, around rpi3 performance, but having the decoders in there make it better than the RPI 4 for playing those types of videos.
