Portable Jellyfin

As long as your media is simple, pretty much any client is fine. 1080P H264 video (not high 10), AAC stereo audio, SRT or burned in subs, MP4 container.

So it depends on what your media is like. If you have more complex media that is requiring the Pi5 to do some work, like transcoding the audio, that may be an issue.

IMO, you should look into getting an Intel N100 equipped mini PC. Mainly because streaming devices, like the Firestick, are not capable enough to unless you have simple media (as described above). Full video/audio/subtitle transcoding needs to be available for those kinds of devices. My definition of a "capable device" is like a laptop or desktop PC running Jellyfin Media Player or Kodi.
