Kodi updates every time you open it and it slows things down. I’d also like a seamless flow from the Z drive NAS with an easy interface to play the media.

I find sometimes I need to use VLC rather than Kodi on some of the Hi Res files.

On the main floor 95% of the music is streamed from Spotify. The Ray and Tv are hooked to the HH3000 via ethernet. Main Floor - I have a 55” tv and blu ray player and Chromecast upstairs hooked up to 4 Sonos and bose 2.1 speakers. So about 5% of the time I take a blu ray concert disc played via Sony 590. Movies and TV Shows are 95% via Kodi/VLC from Z drive NAS. Most Concerts are via Blu Ray Disc as well as via Kodi or VLC from Z drive NAS. Its 5.1 and is used for most tv watching. I can provide the capacity of each category.īasement - The above is mainly my basement set up. I usually break down storage by Music, TV, Movies, concerts, Kids, sports, and Christmas.Movies/Concerts – no 4k, AVI, mainly MKV, and some hi res.Music- a combination of MP3, Flac, and other Hi Res such as SACD, DTS, TS, m2ts, wav etc.Chinavision cvsb-983 remote connected to Harmony One.Currently only connecting to Z drive WD Nas.Ethernet connected to HH30005 mainly WD separate hard drives (2-5TB).These 2 rear USB ports are not currently connecting properly? Z drive- 4 TB with 2 usb ports to add more.Based on comments from a friend using Jellyfin might streamline not only the front end (like a good media player) but also the back end. I’m hoping some of you can look at my system noted below and tell me if I should attempt to install and integrate and interface face Jellyfin to work with it. As noted, it still works 90% of the time and really that’s not why I’m posting on here today.Īfter years of using the Nvidia Stream box and kodi and VLC as my player I have begun looking at a media server platform.

I’m convinced its neither a hardware or software issue but instead a user interface () issue as to why I have network problems. Over the years I have plundered thru my home theatre set up and have terabytes of my collection digitized on a very poorly set up WD My Cloud Mirror that only works 90 % of the time and not to its full potential. I apologise ahead of time if this has been dealt somewhere else and i missed it. I've read thru 10 pages of threads on this Beginner section and have not yet seen any suggestions on my topic. I’m new to this Forumn and am excited to see that many of you are very helpful to novices.
