I’m looking for a privacy friendly device to use as TV box which can play 4K HDR ~90GB movies without problem, do you guys think the orange pi 5 could handle this type of files?

There is a bigger model that lays flat which has great hardware and then there is a “tube” model similar to the Amazon Fire stick size which is 32 bit only and has hardware issues also.

I have the tube for years now and can’t imagine why would I need the Pro version. 32-bit only? It has the same chip.

Lots of people have issues with it. Besides what I mentioned before it’s only another $50 for another gig of ram.
