I'm looking to get a something to plug in to my TV for streaming jellyfin and streaming games. Criteria:

  1. can play 1080p h264 from jellyfin without transcoding
  2. can stream 1080p 60hz games via steam link / moonlight
  3. low power consumption so it's not a big deal if I leave it on
  4. runs an open OS (raspian etc)
  5. wifi and bluetooth
  6. hdmi output
  7. less than ~150 AUD (100 USD)

Thanks in advance! Any tips around remote control and/or home assistant integration for it would also be welcome.

Raspi4?

$94 from PiAustralia, or $144 with a case, psu, cables, etc from RS. (both 4GB version, 2GB stock hasn't been reliable since Covid)

Plays h.264/265 at 60fps fine, does 10bit too both via hardware accel, can play 1080p vp9 but it's CPU decode only, can't handle AV1.

2x minihdmi, USB-C for power (needs 5V 3A), 802.11ac and BT5, pcie ethernet.

Raspi5 is a lot more money and removed h264 hardware accel.
