I bought a MeLE quiet PC (little bigger than a pi but with case, x86, ssd, 16gb memory) and installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed because I wanted a rolling distro. Installed kodi, mounted it on the back of a large monitor. Using a cheap Startech 7.1 USB audio on a long USB connection that takes it all the way to the Yamaha receiver. I've attached a 2TB HDD to the MeLE and that holds most of my stuff. There's a NAS in the attic too.
For the pipewire / pulseaudio channel mapping I can go into the boring details if you want
Thanks for the extra detail. I have been wanting to build a dedicated Jellyfin client for a TV for a while to avoid any 'Smart' TV festures. Does your system boot directly into Kodi? I have been wanting to build something similar for a Jellyfin player. Did you set up an IR remote as well?
