Also, I found the Jellyfin default client(s) to be pretty mediocre. But they have an excellent Jellyfin for Kodi plugin.
Now, Kodi has had 2 decades of development and has just about everything you could ever want from a client (way better than Plex IMO).
Can I use Kodi the same way I use plex? Like can it be my replexment?
I just want to watch content on my home network 99% of the time, and occasionally use it on my phone/tablet/laptop while traveling (if I have good internet)?
I was always under the impression Kodi was something else...
Everything the jellyfin mobile app can do via vpn (or without if you feel brave)
totally, have Jellyfin as well actually but tbh it doesn't always feel super stable, especially if I leave my home network.
Not sure what Kodi is exactly though.
Can't confirm for me.
Rock stable.
Only stutters on bad cellular coverage or my upload at home being insufficient for the requested bitrate.
