Hello, as this thread is about ideal hardware for Jellyfin, I will try to ask here.
My server running fine so far, I am focused now on clients hardware.
Windows and Android (phone/tablet) is easy and so far working fine with native apps.
For TV I bought Fire Stick 4k Max 6E (2024) but here with Jellyfin for AndroidTV it showed up there is a bug/issue with exoplayer, preventing me to correctly display many movies from library.
Although there is a workaround to force encoding, I would be happy to run Direct Mode in full quality, same way as for Windows and Android client.
Searching now best HW/client for TV.
Should I rather use some NUC device with Windows, or would it be a good idea to give a try to some "TV oriented" device like Zidoo etc.?
NUC might be more universal, still I am not sure about power/quality for my scenario and about comfort while need to utilize keyboard/mouse to browse/run/maximize/seeking/control movies.
Any hints please? Recommendations for some best comfort combination?
Although not big issues for me, I need some very user-friendly solution for the rest of my non-technical family.
Thank you.
