Is Kodi still a thing? Been a while since I had a media server but I have another one in the works because fuck streaming services

[–] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Kodi exists however it's a client only, it is not made to host content. You are looking for jellyfin

+1 for Jellyfin!

Eh, I'm pretty sure it is. Haven't had Kodi running for a while, but I used it on a Raspberry Pi with an USB HDD with my content long before I had Jellyfin. Though it cannot stream the content over network, just display it on the machines video output (which is what media PCs do)

That was what I was leaning towards. Do you (or does anyone) happen to know if it is easy to get going on Bazzite? And if so, does it play nice with a Steam controller?

Entire Kodi interface can be navigated using only arrow keys, enter, esc. If you use Steam Input, you can rebind keys. And good news, Kodi is on Flathub so you can install it with ease: https://flathub.org/apps/tv.kodi.Kodi
