My best effort at summarizing these devices based on my own research:
Apple TV 4k with Infuse
Pros: Snappy and beautiful UI, Cheaper than most at $130. Supports basically all codecs including AV1.
Cons: It can't bitstream lossless audio. It can't do any Dolby Atmos or DTS:X. Walled garden ecosystem, Apple
Nvidia Shield
Pros: Powerful device that supports a lot of codecs.
Cons: Doesn't have AV1 support. Expensive at $200. Over 4 years old now. Jellyfin Android TV App is not great. Recent updates putting ads on the main screen.
Xbox Series S/X
Pros: Ubiquitous, cheap for what it is
Cons: Videotape app is gone, no official app, Kodi has no HDR on Xbox (basically dealbreakers)
