I’ve seen a couple articles about an android tv alternative and it’s got me thinking about a streaming box again. A while back i gave kodi a try and didn’t care for the experience. Granted, it was on a pi so expectations were low but it missed the mark for me. This time around i’ve got a modest nuc with proxmox i was thinking of moving to the living room and standing up a fresh vm of kodi to stream to.
I could just access the files over the network but i’m already running both plex and jellyfin so why not use either for my watch history. All that being said is kodi still my best bet?
Why proxmox? At some point down the road i’d like to get a capture card in the mix to stream games and that feels like the most flexible way to do everything.
You’re asking for the client side of things, yes? You’ve got a server elsewhere?
Are you stuck on the nuc or would other hardware work?
What kind of media? Music/video? 1080 or 4k? Raw rips or compressed files?
