So, LibreELEC is a light OS, Kodi is the "player" or "engine" ? Jellyfin is the "skin" or "GUI" to navigate the media from my NAS? LibreELEC essentially replaces the Unbuntu OS I have now right ? Thank you guys, much appreciated, I really want to fully understand all the moving parts of this. Unfortunately i do not feel that the jellyfin clients other than "for kodi" are as mature as kodi and therefor kodi does a better job of playback You actually might find that your PC listed above (the i5+rtx3060) would run perfectly as a media device if you use LibreELEC with the jellyfin for Kodi addon I currently use the FireTV Cube Gen3 and when paired with Kodi v21+ with the jellyfin addon for Kodi (not jellycon) everything actually works perfectly in Direct Play without the need for transcoding (except VC1 but that is configurable in the addon to force transcode, you will be hard pressed to find VC1 support from anything)Īs far as best overall it is my pick but i cannot say it is the end all be all (, 04:03 PM)tmsrxzar Wrote: shield despite being 2019 is still more feature packed than 90% of the chinese boxes being sold but i am also not a fanįiretv stick is intended to be a cheap streamer so a no go for me Seems like many ways to achieve this goal, unsure as best path formward, willing to spend up to $4K, obviously less is desirable :-) But I don't know enough about the "where" and "what" to best spend that money in terms of video processing / workflow given that 95% of my source will be from my 60TB NAS. I have no issues investing in a system that gives me the max performance (well, short of MadVR / Kaleidescape), already spent over $25K in my home theater in the past 2 months. I've looked also at players like Zidoo, seems interesting with the "Realtek video chip" they seem to make a big deal of.there are a bunch of android boxes from others like Dune, as well as things like Roku etc. Part of my issue is that I do not understand where the "decoding" is happening, or the "transcoding"? I did however notice some video artifacts (banding?) in very fast moving scenes. There was zero difference between my PC setup and the Fire stick ? I would have expected better performance from the PC given the hardware "power" vs the fire stick. It also worked ok, and easier to control with fire stick remote vs keyboard. Next I tried Jellyfin App installed on my FireStick 4K, pointed at NAS server. I did look at some of the settings and did my best to make it "as best as possible" without really knowing the details of what I'm doing. And was not "blown away" by picture quality. I pointed Jellyfin web client to Jellyfin server on my NAS and it worked ok, but having to use a keyboard/mouse combo to control the PC is not very convenient. My source material is on my Synology NAS which I installed Jellyfin server. Yesterday I tried Jellyfin client from my Linux Ubuntu computer, which is Intel i5 13600K, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB NVME Samsung and Nvidea RTX 3060 video card. I wish Nvidea would come out with a new unit already, my guess is they are not going to move forwward with that device. The Shield is getting a little "old" and doesn't support some of the newer features etc. Money no object for me would be a Kaleidescape system with a MadVR Extreme, but that setup would run me about $30,000 Canadian, and that's a bit out of my budget -) I am planning on upgrading the TV to a newer 4K OLED or similar in a few months. Was looking at some Zidoo players, but might have more features than I need just to play movies. I don't mind spending money to make this work properly, I'm just not sure what is the best way? my primary goal is best performance of video and audio from the HD BD movie files (MKV) on my NAS. ? or can I use a Linux computer that has HDMI out, Intel i5 13600K with built in CPU graphics, connected to my network ? Do I need a "streaming box" ? like Apple TV, Roku, etc. I've got some 1080P movies I ripped from BluRay to my NAS that I want to play through my new AVM-90. My TV is a "dumb" TV, a Panasonic Vierra Plasma, 1080P only but still looks great. But, what is the best way to be able to play the movies on my NAS, via Jellyfin, in my home theater ? I have an Anthem AVM-90 processor which is brand new. I can see my movies in Jellyfin and play them on my computer. Today I installed Jellyfin on my Synology NAS and configured it etc. I used to have a Western Digital WDLive unit years ago and it worked pretty good, most of the time, to "stream" movies from my Synology NAS. I am new to Jellyfin, and streaming in general.
