Kodi is cross-platform, so it doesn’t have to run on Linux.

I’ve never actually seen the PS5 interface, but this part of the comment is particularly amusing since Kodi started off as XBMC (XBox Media Center).

I have no idea but I think you’re right… Xbox Interface.

It’s called Kodi. It’s a media centre that organizes and displays a library of your own, locally stored (on a NAS or external hard drive) video files.
It can be extended with add-ons for example for watching YouTube, but of course there are also some piracy add-ons, which Kodi itself doesn’t condone, but can’t do anything against

Jellyfin is exactly that, and open source, so you know you won’t get stabbed in the back like with Roku. Out of curiosity, is Kodi also open source?
