Software: Kodi+Exodus, Plex, Moonlight (+ Steam on the PC).
I do everything that the Pi can do directly on the Pi (which is a lot). For every other purpose (including games), I stream from my PC with Steam in-home streaming.
Plays in the Plex app or browser on everyone's devices, AppleTV, Fire TV Stick, Vizio TV, etc.
I only recently added Kodi to RPi and it's really nice. I used to have two 2GB MyBook drives with external power and they were very bulky. I would hook them up to my Bluray player with it's massively shitty interface. The new drive is maybe a quarter the size of one of them and Kodi is beyond simple to use.
Apple TV and iOS devices to view the content.
I have iTunes content from about 2007 along with DVD's I own that I have ripped
I'm pretty well done with Windows though, so once this install (8.1) wears out, I'm switching to a hackintosh build with a Steam remote play server for games with Windows 10 on its own subnet and only Steam ports routed over for privacy.
I have an Intel NUC set up with Kodi (formerly XBMC) on linux. Able to connect to remote samba shares for serving media, kodi has plenty of extensions and features so you can use it with youtube, radio streams, weather, photos, etc. when not watching video. Also the NUC I have has an IR receiver so a normal tv remote can be used to control kodi (big plus). Another thing that's nice about setting up a full computer ov…

CouchPotato seems neat. Are you familiar with any similar services for TV Shows? Often I like to enjoy obscure shows that don't make it to Netflix.

Sounds like a good setup! CouchPotato seems neat. Are you familiar with any similar services for TV Shows? Often I like to enjoy obscure shows that don't make it to Netflix.
I haven't had time to use this: http://www.sickbeard.com/
But a lot recommend it on reddit.
Works very well, even while I'm playing a game.
I tried to have a good and not expensive approach on that. So in my opinion i have a quite conservative setting. I have a raspberry pi 3 with osmc installed via noobs at startup. Additionally I bought a DVB-S USB Stick ( http://sundtek.com/shop/Digital-TV-Sticks/Sundtek-SkyTV-Ulti... ) for germany. A standard TV is connected via HDMI. I use a KODI android app as a remote control. Additionally I have bought 1 TB NAS o…
I have a similar setup, Rpi3 with OSMC / Kodi installed. I turned an old 500GB laptop drive into an external HD for storage, with reuse of parts I'd say the whole thing cost me €50/€60 - for the Rpi3, Case, PSU (though most micro USB phone chargers will work so don't buy one unless you need one), Micro SDHC card, and SATA to USB cable for the hard drive (I milled out an old Gameboy and stuck it in there for a retro l…
Chromium (open source chrome) definitely works. However if you installed osmc you have propably the openelec distro. I am not sure if you can run a browser on it...
