Why not buy a cheap PC with hdmi video built into the motherboard,

We're back to Raspberry Pi then!
The Raspberry Pi come up short of what I consider a media server. It's
more like a toy to help kids lean about computers and programming, which
is fine, but it's not exactly HDCP compliant, and it doesn't even come
in a case with power supply and disk drive. lol
Advances in technology make it possible to hook a PC to a high end HDTV,
using a PC's hdmi out to pass both audio and video to the HDTV through
the computer's PCIe(X16) slot. Unix, Linux, Window, or your favorite OS
can be run on the PC to act as a media server, just as if the hdtv was
the PC's monitor. The manufacturer of the HDCP video card would need to
provide the drivers for whatever OS you use to server media
