Looks like I'm about to go buy another used computer to setup my streaming services using Kody.
What's Kody? I've been thinking of getting a pc and setting up jellyfin on it and connect that to my tv, but I've never heard of Kody before
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?
It's a Linux app but runs on almost all platforms. I have it on my phone and my windows PC as well as my dial boot Linux on the same PC. It's looks like the xbox interface (I don't have one so I would know). You can get all sorts of things on it like a video library, automatic episode downloads, illegal downloads, porn, etc, Netflix.
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.
