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?

I’ve been very happy with my Nvidia Shield. It’s powerful enough for all 4k HDR media and runs Android so it’s customizable but I don’t have to think about it.
NVIDIA Shield is generally considered the best.
It can also side load other apps like ad free YouTube or custom launchers that won’t display ads on your home screen.
I like my Shield but it was a real bummer that I couldn’t just plug in a USB drive and play movies on it. It’s annoying that I have to setup Plex or Jellyfin or whatever to serve movies to the Shield
You can use VLC if you want a simple video player. And XPlore if you want a better file browser
Why?
I’m also happy with it, but when selecting a media player today, I’d get one with hw AV1 decoding.
Maybe a next-gen chromecast, if there will be a version with an ethernet port.
