I wonder if the pi 5s are up to the task

Even the Pi 4 runs Kodi just fine.

I need something capable of decoding 4K hevc. I want to try to stay away from my server and needing to transcode army's despecialized edition of starwars

Fair enough. I use an Apple TV and Infuse in my living room on my main TV, so I didn’t even think about how the 4 needed to have things transcoded for it. Infuse natively decodes almost everything I throw at it. How do Harmy’s despecialized compare to 4k77?

4K77 is kind of like a preservation project. They're trying to make it look as close to as it did in the original theater. Harmy is more about trying to make modern high-res copy without all the "enhancements".

They're both fantastic and they both have their place in the world.
