I played with kodi for a week or two then went back to vlc and shell scripts. I run apache and dump videos for the family in a web root and everyone knows that media.local gets them to the files - everything can play mp4 as is at this point (vlc if you want to be fancy or just a regular browser), even the boys firestick/silk has zero issue playing back FullHD 1080 mp4 in browser. Total maintenance time averaged over a year, 2 minutes. Wireless controller support isn't an issue I have a wireless keyboard with a touchpad built in and that is the "TV remote".
