I have a dumb TV, and a spare computer. I want a nice easy way to interface with several services. (Jellyfin, disney+ etc)

I know of Kodi, but really dislike the interface. I know I could get a USB keyboard/mouse remote thing, but that isn’t very elegent. Is there a simpler solution to this?

    To add to everyone else, I moved from Kodi to Jellyfin and it was a game changer for my home server solution. (I run the server off of my gaming PC)

      Seconding Jellyfin. I used to run XBMC as God intended on my old OG Xbox but Kodi is so bloated and garbo these days from what I’ve seen.

      The fact that my video collection will moatly not play in browser just breaks the entire navigation environment of Jellyfin.

        I’m not sure which client device you’re using, but on desktop there is the desktop player as well as jellyfin-mpv-shim which don’t rely on the browser for playback, but do use it for management, show selection etc
