Hello everyone,

I’m planning to set up Kodi on a mini PC, but I’m unsure which hardware to choose, such as a Minisforum or an Intel NUC and which once. I have a very large library of movies and shows on Jellyfin, and I’d like to use Kodi with one of the two Jellyfin plugins to stream content from Jellyfin to the Kodi box.

I tried Jellyfin for WebOS 4, but unfortunately, it has many limitations regarding codecs. My library mainly consists of REMUX files. The box needs to be able to play 4K, Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, etc. Additionally, I’d prefer it to be somewhat future-proof.

Apart from that, I will connect the Kodi box directly to an Arcam AVR31 so I can pass on the Dolby audio to it.

    I currently use a Khadas VIM1S running Coreelec. Churns through 4K 10-bit HDR AV1 with no problem, and the spec sheets claim that it’ll do HEVC at 8K.

    Only thing is that the hardware decoder doesn’t handle AV1 grain synthesis. Not sure if that’s a limitation of the hardware itself of a software issue with Kodi.
