Does anyone knows of a device irregardless of it being sbc/mini-computer/arm/x86… that is capable of running 4k video.

I got a TV with androidTV or (GoogleTV whatever it is called these days but i really do not like the OS and want to use a media center with Libreelec.

Currently i had a raspberry pi 3+ laying around and gave it a go, it does everything i need, can access SMB, netflix is working, youtube without ads, old NES/SNES roms etc… the only thing is that it does not play 4k videos, actually it does not even play 1080p properly which is a bummer but totally expected.

The BananaPi M5 seems to not be up to the task according to this review but i wonder if any of you have such a device as a media center and can provide feedback

Doing a bit of investigation the youyeetoo X1 seems like a good fit, specifically due to this review it might be a bit more than 100€ specially if it is the 8Gb/16Gb version but so far it seems the less expensive option, maybe i wait a couple of months in the hopes that the price drops

Do you have a setup that works properly with 4k specifically on the budget side? i would love some input on this

Edit: personal experience with the device it would be a plus

    I highly doubt that, it hardly plays a 4k video from internal storage, and it does 1080 barely

      Are you trying to play the video on the Pi itself? Aren’t you using Jellyfin to watch it on other devices?

          My bad, for some reason I thought you were using Jellyfin on the Pi but you’re actually using Kodi so that makes sense
