this thread got me thinking. i was not happy about what plex did as many of you also did not like it. so today i installed jellyfin to test it out. i'm very impressed. the ui is simpler than plex, but i really like it. i found that it isn't exactly free though. to get guide data for live tv you must pay for the guide data, with the lifetime plex pass that was free. so this is a $35/year cost. not a huge issue, but true. the other thing i noticed is the media playback control is not as good as the plex control, but no media app has one as good as plex. need to think about this but i'll probably switch.
how reliable is the kodi addon for hdhomerun? looks like it's unofficial and not supported.
i bought a nvidia gtx 1060 on ebay used for $100. these older gpu are cheap, readily available and work just as well as the corals. seems like a win to me. that being said, not everyone has a system that can take a gpu (like a mini-pc), but if you can it's a great option.
