  • Thank you. I have seen the ASM1166 mentioned before as part of such a solution, but the other suggestions were new to me.

    Can you also confirm to me, have I got it right that (some/all? of) the N100 boards has everything included regarding CPU, GPU and RAM, while most other mini-ITX boards come without those? Or did I get that wrong? Sorry for bothering you, but it’s all still a bit confusing to me, and I have an empty Jonsbo N3 case, and some 22TB drives that are longing to move into their house.







  • being able to control the player from an android phone was so convenient and I don’t know any other player that has similar.

    Well, you can remote control playback in Kodi through apps like Kore, and browse the libraries, but it’s a totally different experience in comparison to dedicated music player apps. Kodi is more like software for a home theater PC, a.k.a. media center.

    The best viable solution I can think of, that includes a desktop UI and remote control from a phone, would be hosting a Jellyfin server for the music library, then using the client app for Android to remotely control another client app running on your desktop. I do that everyday (but mostly for video content), since I’m using my phone to control playback on a Raspberry Pi running Kodi with the “Jellycon” client add-on, but that could be any other Jellyfin client, such as a regular Jellyfin desktop client.








  • There’s probably a Plex add-on for Kodi. At least, there is for Jellyfin and Emby. If you don’t like the UI, try changing it. I prefer the one called “Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded”. You’ll need to customize the homescreen a bit to get the most out of it. That way you can make it show widgets of your content, e.g. the latest content added, continue watching, specific libraries, etc. That, at least, works very well with Jellyfin through the Jellycon add-on.


  • I just tried this on an Ultra.cc seedbox with yt-dlp installed, and the Fintube plugin configured to the right path for that, yet when I go to Dashboard > Fintube and click the Submit button to add a video to the download, nothing happens. Can’t figure out what’s wrong.

    Maybe Jellyfin doesn’t have the necessary write permissions to write the file to that folder, but I’m not quite sure how to change those on such a seedbox, if that’s the case.

    Any experience with this to share? Would the Submit button usually lead to a different view, or does it just stay on that video submission screen while the download happens silently in the background? The lack of action I experience when clicking it feels a bit awkward…
