Sounds cool. How easy is it to do what I talk about in the blog post and send it a URL from my phone?

- darkwater 7y agoWith Kodi it's dead easy, actually I was thinking about it while reading your post: "he should use Kodi"
- anderspitman 7y agoI think I probably should. But I also think I shouldn't have to. This is the first time the Roku has let me down.
- jeroenhd 7y agoI use Kodi, and while it probably isn't a complete replacement for Roku (Netflix doesn't work out of the box but I have to admit I haven't looked into getting it to work because it's one of the few "smart" things I let my smart TV do), it's pretty good for showing content. There's a Firefox extension called "Send to Kodi" that I use to quickly cast Youtube videos and other videos from my PC to my Kodi. On my phone I use Kore, which can send a URL to Kodi using the standard Android share menu (hold a link, Share > Play on Kodi). Kodi also supports UPNP so you can use one of the million available apps for that to allow some other media servers as well. It's not perfect, but Kodi has managed to satisfy my video consumption needs quite well. I'm using an outdated version (it's running on my server which runs Debian stable) but I haven't run into problems thus far.
