Does anyone knows of a device irregardless of it being sbc/mini-computer/arm/x86... that is capable of running 4k video.

I got a TV with androidTV or (GoogleTV whatever it is called these days but i really do not like the OS and want to use a media center with Libreelec.

Currently i had a raspberry pi 3+ laying around and gave it a go, it does everything i need, can access SMB, netflix is working, youtube without ads, old NES/SNES roms etc... the only thing is that it does not play 4k videos, actually it does not even play 1080p properly which is a bummer but totally expected.

The BananaPi M5 seems to not be up to the task according to this review but i wonder if any of you have such a device as a media center and can provide feedback

Doing a bit of investigation the youyeetoo X1 seems like a good fit, specifically due to this review it might be a bit more than 100€ specially if it is the 8Gb/16Gb version but so far it seems the less expensive option, maybe i wait a couple of months in the hopes that the price drops

Do you have a setup that works properly with 4k specifically on the budget side? i would love some input on this

Edit: personal experience with the device it would be a plus

Maybe a LePotato ? No first hand experience, but it seems to be able to do 4k

The specs seem nice but i can not find a benchmark/test on 4k around to see it actually playing 4k media, i will keep this on the lookout as well, thank you

I've got a lepotato; let me see if i can get some benchmarks for you

There's also the more recent Alta and Solitude from Libre. They seem to be supported in recent CoreElecs nightlies.

But yeah, information on those is also a bit thin.

Ohh these looks like the nice and on budget, i will give a hard look into these at first glance i think this might be the way to go, many thanks :D The only downside is no bluetooth support for a controller
