Just curious is a raspberry pi powerful enough for streaming on multiple devices in 4k? Thinking of doing a setup and sharing with my family and friends. I anyway have a pi available
I host anywhere from 1-6 streams at a time on a custom built server… I'd doubt you're going to get what you're asking without a much bigger build. It doesn't take a crazy build for plex but if you ever need transcoding the pi can't do it. My most recent iteration was ~$1300 but the price was mostly storage.

Yes, but only via direct play, it’s not going to be doing any transcoding at all watchable level.

From my understanding pi doesn't have the greatest hardware for streaming so I wouldn't trust it for multiple devices at 4k.
