I tried Kodi years ago when I heard about some guy getting busted at a local flea market for selling Kodi rigged appliances. I didn't download anything, but that UI was atrocious. After about 5 minutes of tinkering around, I just uninstalled it. Probably one of the worst UI's I've encountered.

I've hacked mine together with a control4 system i pulled out of a dumpster, with a handheld remote it is quite navigable!

kore app/yatze on phone or direct selection of media from home assistant, you really don't have to see the GUI that much at all if you'd prefer not to.

smart playlists, addons for other features.

i think it's a swell front-end for a media server!
