Running the jellyfin server on an SBC is possible, I'm running it on a pi 4 right now. Personally, I'd recommend installing docker and running the service in a container. There's official docs for how to do so https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/container/

That being said, Jellyfin docs recommend against running on an SBC. I too, running it on an SBC, recommend against it. It can do the "happy path" well. But if the stored media is in a format that requires the server to transcode it for the current, it cannot handle it. The time it takes to transcode is several times longer than the actual run time of the media. You will have a bad time. I'm currently looking to change/upgrade the hardware to work around this

I have a server and it Jellyfin among other things.

What I want is a easy way to get it on my TV. There's Kodi but the Kodi plugin isn't nearly as polished or user friendly

I've never tried it myself but the Android TV version of LineageOS can run on some Banani Pis ^1.
