Just in time for the holiday season, Raspberry Pi have launched two new bits of hardware for you to tinker with the Raspberry Pi 500 and an official Raspberry Pi Monitor.
I just bought a used Ryzen 3 ThinkCentre as a media centre PC for 66€. Feel like the pi has a hard time competing both on price and performance in that field.
I have a Pi400 that I used as a 4K UHD Kodi client. It worked great. The only thing it lacked was Doing Vision and HDR10+ support. Normal HDR10 was fine.
Now I just use the Jellyfin app for my TV (LG), which also support DV.
Yes I was looking as a client to replace the “smart” TV app that is increasingly becoming bloatware with something I can control. Just kinda need a “self hosted” client that can support 70mbps 10bit hdr streams or there about.
Ohhh I wonder if this can work as a 4k 10bit uhd Plex/jellyfin client?

Can you post where that is from please? I seem to stumble on desktops that cost 10x as much!
Sure, it’s from Germany, though. Shipping might be a problem, depending on your location.

If you look for used or refurbished ThinkCentres, Optiplexes, and whatever-hp-calls-theirs, there’s usually some cheap ones, at least around here.

Client, potentially. Sadly definitely not a server since the removed hardware encoding
