@socketwench LibreELEC is really good at this.

I personally spun up Jellyfin though, there's a supported Kodi plugin and it handles everything like a champ. Pretty sure a spare Pi could handle it (I hope to cover this in a video soon, just need to finish the damn basement first).

@vkc House stuff takes *forever* especially if you're doing it alone.

I do have a miniPC I got from FreeGeek with LibreELEC on it. I should see about using that someday.

@socketwench It's pretty great- I've got at least three videos scripted in a series I'm calling "So you want to self host your media", but I really want to do it like a cheesy infomercial and not a typical episode.

@vkc I volunteer to be the cheesy, bedazzled customer who is wowed by the solution.

@vkc @socketwench I second Jellyfin, it's pretty cool. Depending on what you have you can use several things as a client to consume that stuff: am app on your TV itself, a Kodi box, some streaming box, an HTPC and probably more. I went with an Nvidia Shield.
