Out of curiosity, does anyone know of anything similar that will plug into an HDMI port directly à la Roku? Would be cool to stream my Jellyfin collection on something like this

I would rather have control of the fullstack. I don't very much trust Amazon/Roku/etc... regarding my privacy.

You could look into Intel Compute Sticks[0]. They're small Bay Trail (quad core Atom) PCs with a male HDMI and a USB port. They will run Linux well enough but it's a bit of a pain to get it installed since they've only for a single USB port. They used to be really cheap so they may still be. IIRC they've got full VP9 and h.264 High Profile hardware acceleration.
