    I think two out of those believes stem from survivorship bias. You think of old music and consumer products as superior because the only ones that “survived” are the good ones. No one remembers bad music from 50 years ago, and for every old thermos flask/blender/knife that you see around there are dozens that broke years ago.


  • I don’t have any experience with the rp4, but I have used a similar SBC (the Odroid N2) for this. An external HDD works perfectly fine, no need to worry about that. Performance is also absolutely decent. If the 4 devices can direct stream the content you won’t have any issues. The only thing to worry about is transcoding. Ffmpeg on RP4 does support hardware acceleration (without it, you couldn’t even do a single transcode at reasonable speeds), but even with it I doubt you can do more than a single 1080p transcode at the same time.
