![]() ![]() ![]() No messing with database versions as KODI gets upgraded. => Emby Plugin searches Network, finds instance of Emby and auto configures and sync's media library into Kodi. > Install Kodi or Openelec on client device If a users main aim is centralised database management, then I don't think there is a better solution than Emby. Very active development, great community, very frequent releases, feature rich, GREAT KODI plugin (which does centralised database management across multiple KODI / Openelec devices without having to mess around with an instance of MySQL). I have been using Emby for over a year now and I have not had 1 hiccup. At least when I last looked into Emby about a year ago. This is actually a pretty recent change as some platforms were really far behind until earlier this year. The man difference is the ecosystem, Plex has a solid ecosystem which pretty much is consistent across platforms. They both use ffmpeg to transcode (with the Plex version being a slightly modified version of ffmpeg basically). a lot to learn, but its oh so satisfying once you get all the pieces together.Įmby is an opensource Plex basically. and also share my collection with other family members outside my home network. But I also run Plex Server so I can watch on my iPads, web, etc. ![]() ![]() I stick w/ Kodi since I like the interface. meaning Kodi will still be the client, but the entire media database is maintained by Emby. But you have to have decent server CPU power and a fast UP internet connection if you want to view your media outside of your home network.Įmby I belive is like a Plex, but it can run as a plugin inside Kodi. However this likely means your server will need to trans-code the media to a format playable by that "device"> Lots of advantages. You can run Plex clients in all those environments. Smart TVs, Amazon Fire Sticks, Rokus, etc have all made great strides lately. You need to also run the MariaDB docker as your MySQL server. This means you have a centralized Kodi library (slightly complicated to set up). I have small HTPC's at each of my TV sets running OPenelec (An OS that is only to serve Kodi). For example is your Couchpotato gets a new movie, it will tell the Kodi headless to update its library so it shows up at all the other Kodi clients. Reason for Kodi (headless) as a Docker is to have it be the defualt notification address for new media coming in. ![]()
