An Nvidia Shield Pro is hands down the best but it is much more expensive. Slap a third party launcher over the top and use it for streaming Jellyfin or Stremio or Kodi or whatever floats your boat. Super responsive and is android-based so you can sideload whatever you want. It also has the most compatibility with most codecs so you'll be able to direct play more through Jellyfin rather than transcode.
Yeah the Shield Pro is amazing, even though the last update was 2019. And even with an earlier version of their AI upscaling, 1080p content looks great on 4k. Hopefully with the Switch's successor leaks swirling around it means that they'll do a 2024 update. Probably wishful thinking.
And if you want to go even further: it has active official LineageOS support, I flashed mine two months ago
I still need to de-Google my Shield. How’s the performance of LineageOS on the Shield? HDR and DV content still playing well?
Sorry but that is sth that I cannot answer properly; I have a fullHD TV from 2012 connected, so HDR is not sth I can even test... I have not experienced any lags or hickuos so far though, just some general problem with fullscreen on newpipe but that has an open issue on Github for six months already. (And downgrading to an old version solved it for now)
