    Just set up my living room Linux pc with Kodi and got all my shows and movies in one nice spot all organized with a beautiful ui. Kodi has many themes, extensions and cool stuff like controller support and the connectivity to other software like jellyfin to stream locally.

    Highly recommend it 🏴‍☠️

      I wish Kodi had a better interface for playing YouTube videos. Searching and finding a video to watch with that UI is terrible.

        In case you didn’t know, you can send a YouTube URL to Kodi by sharing it from your phone to the Kore app.

        So you can do your browsing on your phone/tablet and when you want to watch something on the big screen, you just share it with the Kore app and it will start playing.

        Didn’t know that Kodi could play YouTube videos. I just downloaded all of Dragon Ball Z Abridged and set it up like a show 😆

        If you want a great experience with YouTube I can highly recommend the freetube app. It’s worked flawlessly so far on my Linux setup. Just needs updates occasionally like everything else.

        If you want a really beautiful experience with Kodi I can highly recommend the “Copacetic” skin.
