I'm using pi+libreelec+kodi.
Why kodi over plex? No special reasons, kodi does everything I need and with the addons support it gives me a lot of options(torrents+streaming).
Have been using kodi since it was called xbmc in the OG xbox modding scene. Never used Plex, so I just went with what I knew.
Ohhhh I had xbmc like a decade ago, before I gave up on the aye matey lifestyle, so I’ll probably choose that over plex as well. Thanks for the info. I’m looking up libreelec now, but I was just assuming it was some other hardware solution in my last comment.
Same thing here.
Yeah I though so. LibreELEC is a Linux distro with just enough OS to run kodi.
Thanks, one last question… What rpi do you recommend?
I'm using a rpi4 model B 4GB.
Works pretty well for my needs. At least until now I don't feel like it's underpowered.
It plays 4K video from my main PC with no problems or stuttering. But I mainly use it for 1080p.
