I want to use my raspberry pi as a “streaming stick” connected to my tv to stream my Jellyfin library and self hosted invidious instance (not hosted on the pi). Any top recommendations on the right setup? I was considering LibreElec, but was wondering if there are any other more modern solutions.

    So long as the stream that the pi is receiving can be decoded in HW you’re fine. But if you’re streaming e.g. a raw VC1 Blu-ray rip, I think things will work much better on a pi 3 than 4 (though you still need to purchase the codec license for HW decode on a 3).

    But yeah, if the server is transcoding to HEVC or h264 in real time (or again, the source material is already in that format), then the 4 should be good.
