it's probably a decent HD streamer. I have Kodi running on a pi2 (1GB) and it's OK at 720p but 1080 lags. The pi5 will do 1080, and might even pull off 4k depending on the source.

But doesn't it lack hardware for that. Streaming software goes s far as to warn against it.

Yep. For applications where video isn't your main function, the Pi5 is a step back. In 3D printing (such as the Voron), where we want CPU cycles spent on printing, The Pi4 has to be used over the Pi5 if you want that hardware encoding for your camera stream so it's not eating up your CPU time and potentially ruining your prints.

Your link shows that Jellyfin isn't recommended for video encoding, but nothing about using Kodi (as OP is doing) implies doing anything of that sort.

IIRC Pi 4 has a hardware encoder and 5 does not, so 4 might be your sweet spot.
