First of all, thank you for your answer! I am starting to have a feeling as if my post sounds to everyone replying like “Kodi bad”.. When the main idea was more around “I am researching the subject, need some guidance from people that know more than me and all those top five Kodi alternatives articles”.

From your reply, I have yet another feeling, you sound to me now probably like I sounded over ten years ago talking about how Photoshop is a great software and how many amazing options it has to someone asking me “is there a simple way to rotate / resize my pictures?”..

Sure, I am still using Kodi, I even mentioned in another reply that I’ve found quite a cool theme that already feels better for me and I definitely have some more reading and tinkering to do.. But the question is still jumping around in my brain, “is there any other / simpler / better way to achieve this effect?” — I hope you understand what I mean by that and why I posted here.

I totally understand Jellyfin being recommended and praised so much. I guess if I will reconsider building a home server / media box etc. — this would be my first direction.

On the other hand, I know I am stubborn, being a minimalist is not helping in this situation. I just wish I could do as much as possible with simplest solutions on my PC and right now Jellyfin feels like an overkill, even Kodi does, if there would be a plugin for VLC to just let me go for play/pause vol up/down with xbox controller I would go for it and delete Kodi immediately.

Dang, I really felt that last sentence.

I am not browsing that much on my phone I guess, never had problems with websites tho. Sometimes there is a gap here and there but this is just adblock doing its thing..

Plus, there is really not that much to browse on internet now anyway.

To be honest, I shouldn’t be answering this question while having like 15 apps installed, freshest one is proton mail.

Two times I saw unsupported message, both with Lemmy apps, one was something on testflight and the second one was Arctic — that’s why I appreciate Voyager even more..

Yeah, so.. For now, I feel like I am just stuck with Kodi, but I’ve found a really great theme that kinda helps me cope with that and makes the overall feeling much less clunky.

Maybe one day I will discover something better and more suited for me.

6s (2015) here. I know that perfect phone doesn’t exist and mine is getting older with every minute now, battery is a joke even after one replacement few years ago..

..yet for all those years I have trouble finding any replacement, and I am open for any direction that will just feel fine (at least), somehow nothing does.

I am not that super interested in this because the hdmi connection stays anyway for playing some games..

I was reading about jellyfin and it would be great for me like 8 years ago, when I was still in my data hoarding phase.

What I am looking for now is more like Player + Library + Xbox controller as input on top of that. Oh.. and subtitles support would be great.

Face.. maybe sometimes. Sounds tho.. and is anyone else often having shivers at the beginning or during?

Yeah, I’ve started searching for options and now I am thinking about it, there is LinkAce too..

Same unfortunately goes for a big chunk of the law on a global scale.. Constant progress, new possibilities and technologies, changes in general are really outpacing some dusted and constantly abused solutions. Every second goes by and any “somehow still holding” relic is under more pressure. As a species we can have some really great ideas but the long-term planning or future-proofing is still not our strongest suit.

venerate the mindful discernment with grace
