Ohhh I wonder if this can work as a 4k 10bit uhd Plex/jellyfin client?
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.
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.
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.
Client, potentially. Sadly definitely not a server since the removed hardware encoding
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.
