XBMC became Kodi, you can still get that 10ft UI and it integrates with local media files like ripped DVDs and Blu-ray, or it'll interop with any streaming service, or it'll interop with high seas URLs.

That gave way to Plex, which is a webapp to host your local media, which has grown very large and is out of favor. Jellyfin and others have taken up the mantel.

In-between the two are the *arr suites of software which automate file sharing.

It's a rabbit hole if you're interested. Feel free to google any of these names and you'll find a glut of how to articles online.

Yeh, I've looked at a bunch over the years. None have that DVR ability that windows Media Center Edition had.
I feel like I should build up an arr stack, go down that rabbit hole, spend my streaming subscription money on a VPN and a private tracker (or whatever is required).
I just haven't yet.

I run the Plex DVR with my HD Homerun OTA tuners. It works pretty well. Certainly much better than MythTV DVR did

I think you overestimate the prevalence of Jellyfin. Plex is still more widely used, for good reason

I'll sit here and wait for the jellyfin fans to find this comment.

@aodhsishaj @anivia I started with Plex 10 years ago, used Kodi, Emby, Jellyfin and arrived back at Plex 2 years ago. I think you’re overestimating the prevalence of Jellyfin.
