For me - KODI is the easiest and best user experience and fits my needs. River and moved to networked media tanks and on and on. I used everything at one time or another. Like vacations different strokes for different folks. Not as neatly as KODI and not as accurate (at least in my experience). JRiver Media Center licenses available: Purchase Master License 79. ![]() It also is limited in it's execution of movie sets - but will do it. I use EMBY for remote but I have no idea if it will do the NextPVR thing. I really don't want to wander all over my collection for the 26 individual Jame Bond movies - I like them all behind 1 thumbnail image. The software also offers an interface for streaming and information about offers that can be added with add-ons. The user interface is mostly adapted for use on a television. Plex will do the NextPVR and HDHomeRun but what it will not do is movie sets. Media centers are programs that organize media files like video, audio, and image files on a computer and optimize them for presentation on a TV or other end devices.

I use the MySQL database setup that allows me to configure my library from a single source and I can even play and resume from room to room. I also integrate my HDHomeRun and NextPVR for local OTA channels via my antenna. I run on ASUS Chromeboxes via LibreElec for a nice appliance that my wife can use with ease. It's very easy to setup and configure and plays just about any media you can throw at it. It's been around a long time and has great support community. If you want to play just from your LAN then KODI is my suggestion. I used to take the files I wanted to watch with me on the road (I travel a lot) on a USB drive/microSD and still take some with me, but now mostly use Plex streaming or syncing to do the same task. ![]() However, the majority of my friends use Plex so I ended up going with that. I recently tried out both Emby and Plex, I liked Emby's metadata and movie set handling more than Plex. I eventually migrated to a centralized MySQL setup as I didn't want to do the metadata management from my couch anymore, and added a second client, eventually a third one. Media Server provides access to a Media Center Library from another computer or device on the network or on the Internet. I used Kodi back when it was XBMC 8 or 9 (now it's 17?). Both are free to try and have clients available on many platforms. Jriver is trying to satisfy a broad band market of needs whereas Xxhighend is all about the quality of sound. If you want to play content from outside your network, check out Plex or Emby, they use server/client methods and both have dedicated apps on many platforms. If you want to keep it on Windows, then it works fine. Single player and you never play content remotely? Check out Kodi, or some variant, if you want light weight and only to use Kodi I like LibreELEC over Kodibuntu for it's appliance like installation/configuration.
