I have done it for one stream at a time. However, transcoding gave it a hard time. If at all possible I would recommend a Pi 4.
If you are getting new hardware get something with a GPU and proper storage. Even a 6 year old desktop will run better.
I thought Pi 4 can't do transcoding for jellyfin? Am I mistaken? Or maybe it's only 4K it can't do?
the pi 5 lacks hardware transcoding. pi 4 could do it, but it was deprecated by jellyfin.
maybe consider picking up a (used) mini pc instead.
It doesn't have a proper GPU
So it should be ok if it's just going to my phone then?
I'd suggest 1080p downloads as your max resolution. Also setup a VPN running on another device. Should do you fine for a while.
