  • A few things for me:

    • I had most of the parts to build a low power machine that’s passively cooled. No noise whilst watching video.
    • I can have a locally stored library so don’t need a NAS running 24/7 elsewhere in the house supping power.
    • I can have multiple things running on it like games as well as media giving me a PC gaming console (fans come on at that point).
    • Never have to drive it through my phone or a tablet. It’s just on the TV remote. Ease of use is great.
    • No money to Amazon, Google or similar companies that just want to data farm me.

    Kodi works very well for me with a local library. Serving it from Jellyfin was a mess (Jellycon). I think primarily this is a Kodi problem as really it should support DLNA servers much much better, and then a add-on wouldn’t be needed.
