From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Kodi with the Jellyfin plugin also works really well. With LibreELEC or CoreELEC it can also be installed as a locked down kiosk client.
Re: jellyfin plugin
Never managed to get it to complete a scan of the music database. Always kept crashing. Then left a load of zombie items in kodis media library.
Honestly wasn't impressed.
Do you use the plugin mode (access via HTTP) or the direct mode (access directly via SMB)?
Music libraries are a mess in plugin mode.
Still not the best UI in the world but it's the only Jellyfin player I found that can do seamless refresh rate switching, HDR playback, audio passthrough and has no issues with high bitrate 4k60 hardware decoding.
Http. I don't have SMB shares on anything as I have no windows machines in the house.
SMB works on all operating systems, my server runs on Linux and Kodi also runs on Linux. (NFS is also supported)
I know it does, but it's not generally a service I have running. It's yet another thing to setup. NFS isn't great over WiFi I've found. It likes rock solid connections.
