What's the cheapest hardware that can playback videos at 1080p?
There are so many options out there, it's kind of dizzying.
I'm looking for a cheap solution that I could hook up to a TV and ethernet, so it could run a flavor of Linux (or BSD) and play videos at 1080p. Bonus points if it can handle 1080p@60 FPS. Other than that, it would be used for light web browsing.
I was looking at Raspberry Pi 4, but is there anything else you would suggest?
Just another thing to consider: the codec the video is encoded with matters, h.265 is gonna need a lot more beef than h.264 or mp4.
