Kodi type equivalent question?

Post by unzippy »

I have a NAS that I store films and series etc .
I have a media PC running Win10 and Kodi that is connected to the telly.
I like how Kodi manages the media and helps me keep of track of what I’ve watched.

What I want is a way to watch the NAS files from my iPad in bed while keeping the info that Kodi knows. So if I watch a couple of eps from the NAS in bed on the iPad, Kodi on the media PC knows. And vice versa.

Is that doable?
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Ah, just seen it works with Alexa too. I have Kodi on one RPi and MyMedia for Alexa on another, both accessing the same NAS (a USB drive on a third Pi). Looks like Plex can replace MyMedia and Kodi.

FWIW I run OSMC (Kodi) on my RPi. However, I've the official Plex plugin installed that opens automatically on system start. The normal OSMC/Kodi media folders aren't setup at all. I also have it on my phone, laptop and Firestick in the bedroom. I picked up a Plex Pass in the Black Friday sales a couple of years back. I haven't looked back. It's awesome.
