Comment on Best plex/jellyfin compatible streaming box

kodi.

kodi kodi kodi.

kodi on everything, headless kodi, kodi on phone, on linux computer, LibreELEC on an old chromebook,

addons for other streaming services, for immich, for subsonic music, jellyfin and emby.

so much more also.

customize the gui to your hearts extent, or just fall in love with every piece of media in your ecosystem easily visible in a unified interface that works with remotes, game controllers, air mouse. keyboard. App on phone, web interface from another machine

once you get the first one perfected, back it up and immediately have it on the next machine.

YouTube is a little bit of a bitch but there’s ways around that sometimes

Just tried out Kodi on Android but I’m sorry, the app sucks. No native addon browsing, the keyboard is custom but incredibly small on my phone, navigation is weird, there’s no back button and my main buttons on the phone get hidden so I always have to manually show them again. The design is unappealing and for some reason it really wants access to my devices microphone.

Literally the worst one I’ve tried and I didn’t even get to the video player, which everyone says stops working every once in a while.

  well it’s really developed to be a 10ft interface, so yeah the touch controls aren’t ideal. handles just the same as ot does on TV, on a phone with a remote or game controller though?
  
  i just use the individual streaming apps on the phone if it’s in my hands.
  
  the OP asked for a device recommendation, My point was that it can be any device that runs the same program that works easily from the TV.
  
  all these windows 10 PC’s going in the dumpster soon could be given a new life with LibreELEC.
  
  but i am curious though, are there other single apps on phone that work better with local media and streaming services?

    I know on Android jellyfin in particular has a native app but also findroid, which is not world changing but good enough.
