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.

      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?

        IIRC it was 720p content. VLC was how I was playing the files until I upgraded from 19.x to 20.x

          Yeah, mine was 4K HDR and it was not a happy bunny at all.

      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.
