I have some rare media that I know would be extremely difficult to replace, so I back that up, but the general stuff is less important.
However, with rights holders constantly trying to move away from the idea of permanent physical ownership, some media will become harder and harder to find in their best or purest forms, disks will go out of print and the used market will start to slowly die as media ages and rots.
I love that most of the commenters are older than the oldest example in the meme.
Thank you for actually calling it DE9!
A DB9 would have been 9 pins in a shell the size of a DB25 port!
The difference you see is probably due to different post processing presets, you could probably tune kodi to look better but in general it was designed originally for very low power devices and never added a lot of enhancement functionality outside of a few plugins for it. Try using the older kodi+dsplayer version for more tweakability or look I to madvr for massive image enhancement capabilities
The only reason I have kodi installed on my main nvidia shield is because it's the only player ive found that will play back surround and atmos audio files (multichannel Flac and Atmos M4A) without then having to be in video containers. So it works well for my surround hifi rig.
I use plex and jellyfin for video
Jellyfin is great but it's nowhere near feature parity with plex. I run them side by side. Jellyfin for my personal local playback and plex for everything else.
I'll switch over eventually but for now, for someone with over 110tb of content and over a dozen remote streaming clients there is nothing better than plex.
dont forget the paid map updates!
These are definitely the way to go, plenty of fanless mini pcs with at least 2 NICs aimed squarely at this use case.
And even the little n100 chip is more than most normal people need for a router, even with an encrypted VPN or deep packet inspection, so you can virtualise and run some light services alongside the router OS, like jellyfin, a caching service, or something like Grafana
One of my mini PC's is an N95, which is similar to the n100 but with a higher peak power. It's faster than the old legend 2600k and has a decent little igpu for video processing or general desktop use.
I run a jellyfin test server from it, transcodes high bitrate 4k HDR H265 to 1080p SDR tonemapped H264 at over 200fps, while running my security camera Dashboard with multiple video feeds.
Their only limitation is they usually only have a single memory slot so keep that in mind.
Transflexive displays can work, but they arent as easy on the eyes as e-paper and they have poor contrast in direct sunlight.
No but it does give users one click access to the illegal sources, which could be a problem in some legal jurisdictions.
Personally I just use it to read from my personal komga server, but it would be sad to see the app get attacked.
