2GB should be fine for LibreELEC.
Thank you for your great work and for the clarification! I’ll go ahead and order a Raspberry Pi 5 with 2GB of RAM and will post my feedback once I’ve had a chance to try it.

Thanks, ht2tweak. You had actually asked yourself whether 4 or 8 GB would be the better choice.
It would have been nice if someone with a Pi 5 2 GB could have confirmed that it handles smooth playback without any issues.
The boards are currently sold out here, and for twice the price, I’d rather invest in an NVMe HAT, as chewitt already mentioned. The Pi 5 will only be used to play 3D movies, since it lacks Dolby Vision support.
For around $100 including the board, case, etc., it would already be a reasonably priced alternative — especially if it delivers better picture quality than the Zidoo.

How much RAM should the Pi 5 have for smooth 3D playback? Is the 2 GB version sufficient?
