I believe its missing h265 and av1 hardware support and while it probably has enough performance to handle those codecs in software, I wasn't willing to drop more than 100 euros on a 5 year old device without hardware decoding for them

That's untrue. I specifically bought it for h265 decoding. Which it does have in hardware. I play h265 content exclusively and never had an issue. Even 80~100mbps blue ray UHD rips. And because it has gigabit ethernet there's never any buffering issues either from my NAS.

Ah, I guess I was only looking at AV1 support in that case. I only remembered it was missing something I wanted due to its age

I got most of my Plex library on h265 and there is no problem with my shield,
