@Hanky42 said in Retropie and Libreelec:
Wouldn't KODI want media added to it's library?
yes?
you add files to the library over network without moving the actual files or you can just play them directly from the source.
personally i use mysql (alltho a bit slow) to avoid having to recreate the library and remember which movies i watched on all devices using kodi in my home.
if you want something easier, you can look up plex media center, but i belive a "dedicated" server is required for that, i am unsure if it will run both a player and a server on one raspberry.
