I think this is the path. I like jellyfin but I find it has trouble with some files on some devices. Kodi handles pretty much everything. Not as nice for browsing though.
Totally. I had some issues where Jellyfin would transcode to remove HDR when trying to play on a HDR capable TV. Disabling transcoding completely means black screen for a lot of videos which kodi plays just find over NFS (so no chance of transcoding) on the same device.
