Not sure if relevant, but RPi4 dropped HW decode for MPEG2 and VC1, I believe. Not a problem if things are in the right format (HEVC, H264), but something to possibly keep in mind.

CEC is working well so that’s all handled! And my Jellyfin server takes care of any transcoding but most of my files are just able to be played directly.
Also new to this, would having GPU decode on the server allegivate the decode issue?
Not sure about Jellyfin, but Plex would transcode to a format supported by the client yes.
If your looking for a TV view of your content, osmc is amazing. It runs Kodi for the display and has other tools pre installed
I was thinking about doing something similar and was considering running Android on a Raspberry Pi. There are unofficial LineageOS builds for the Raspberry Pi. I haven't tried that yet, but I guess it should be possible to use the Jellyfin Android app on such a setup.
