    Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well. Just bought my first TV, got a sweet deal on a used 49" 4K Samsung. It's pretty awesome, but has Samsung's own proprietary OS & appstore, which has everything I need, except for Jellyfin.

    Now I'm looking for an external device to connect via HDMI, to play back my Jellyfin media collection. I have tried my Raspberry Pi 4, but performance was underwhelming, especially with 4K HEVC stuff.

    My requirements are:
    • ability to install an official Jellyfin client (obviously), maybe some other apps
    • enough juice to play back 4K HEVC, AV1 support very welcome but not required
    • HDMI output, CEC support welcome but not required
    • HDR support very, very, very welcome
    • WiFi required for now, built-in Ethernet very welcome (I'll run Ethernet to the room eventually, but definitely not now)
    • at least one USB port for a TV keyboard, more not really needed
    • as power efficient as possible (expensive european electricity)

    Bonus points for:
    • enough performance for some emulation (up to PS2) / light 2D gaming
    • built-in Bluetooth for controllers

    Don't care about:
    • OS - can be Windows, Linux, Android, whatever
    • YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ etc, the TV itself can do those already
    • upgradable RAM / storage

    Should I buy one of those Android TV boxes/sticks, or maybe a mini-PC or thin client with Windows or Linux, or maybe something else entirely? As for availability, I'm in Germany, most things should be available here.

    Thanks in advance for all suggestions!
