I am about to buy one. What do you recommend for a jellyfin setup with it?

So far I got:

Additional Q: if it can upscale 1080 to 4k, does that mean I don’t need my 4k collection anymore? It sounds too good to be true.

    Install Kodi as well as the Jellyfin client.

    Some older files just won’t play otherwise.

    Shield doesn’t use AV1 so don’t download any of those.

        Really? Didn’t on my 2019 Pro. Did about 1 frame a second for a few seconds and then crashed the whole box.

        Could have been a malformed video I suppose, but VLC played it fine on my PC.

        Maybe it’s just not hardware accelerated so only lower spec videos work?

        lower res, low bitrate AV1 can be decoded in software pretty well (<1080p animation etc) but with high bitrate 4k AV1 it cant get anywhere near 24fps.
