CommanderShepard@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI personally just pointed Coreelec to my NFS share… I tried Jellyfin for Kodi and Jellycon and they are quite unstable (at least a few months ago). If I pause a video, and the restart, it was guaranteed to exit the stream after a couple of minutes. Sometimes, it would not sync properly, so if I finished an episode, it was not guaranteed that the day after it’s marked as “Watched”. On the other hand, Coreelec + NFS works flawlessly.

Jellyfin for kodi is pretty bulletproof for me although it wasn’t always that way; when I first changed to this setup (bit over a year ago when Coreelec added dolby vision support) there were some headaches because kodi was changing how the db worked at the time (change from kodi 20 to 21 and Coreelec was using the kodi 21 nightlies for dv stuff that hadn’t been brought into final version)
Once the 21 final came out and Jellyfin for kodi was updated it’s been smooth sailing.
That does remind me of another downside though: there’s a minor slap fight on how db management should occur between kodi and jellyfin devs. Like many open source projects they simply can’t agree on anything so each project just does what they think is right. So kodi 22 or jellyfin 11 might cause another scenario like above if they decide to revamp the db again (especially on the Jellyfin side; I would not be surprised if someday they will overhaul the lackluster music portion of Jellyfin)
If you ever do revisit Jellyfin for metadata administration I would suggest posting about your issues on the github for Jellyfin for kodi. I’ve never used Jellycon so I can’t speak to that but Jellyfin for kodi’s github is overall helpful although fair warning that the dev can be a bit curt, especially if your issue has already been addressed and is configuration related. Things may have changed but at least ~ a year ago it was solely developed by one person who did the majority of the support as well. But if nfs is working then why break what isn’t broken?
