I’m wanting to set up my external Seagate drive with all my media on it to run a jellyfin server but I’m not sure which device to use. I’m thinking a raspberry pi but I’m not sure which one. From what I can tell from running the server on my laptop it is fairly CPU intensive for lower end systems

Edit: so general consensus seems to be, don’t use a pi, it’s not powerful enough

    It depends on device, my apple tv on my TV screen has sometimes problems with specific audio channels as well as with some 4k HEVC HDR files. Most it is performance of the device running the client, or it can also be some licensing stuff. On Apple TV, jellyfin uses the the video player provided from apple, I assume, at least in plex it is like that. This comes with the limitation, that some codecs are supported by apple.
