Is Kodi worth giving a shot again, my last use being around 2016?

Whenever I tried it out, I found it laggy and buggy. Has it improved?

Immensely. Its extremely versatile and robust at this point.

If youre just using it as a media center computer go with libreelec, which is an OS that boots directly into kodi. The intergration is deep and excellent.

Xbian is like this too, for Raspberry Pi SBC’s. Kodi keeps getting faster, smoother, more stable, better…all the good things. And it’s brilliant if you still have a non-smart tv and are inclined to sail the open seas flying a Jolly Roger.

It's really fantastic on SHIELD pro for playing stuff from a NAS. This newest release finally has full Dolby vision support.

What source are you using when playing Dolby Vision, does it work with Jellyfin/Jellycon?

[–] Pantsofmagic@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Just playing files via NFS storage. I haven't ever tried Jellyfin so I'm not sure.
