Hello, I am new to the forums. Am wondering if I can stream media from Kodi anywhere, not just locally. I would have just stuck with Windows or Ubuntu and added Kodi and Plex to the mix, but I want an Kodibuntu build for my HTPC / Media Server. I would have got PlexBMC, but there are no 32-bit images, which I need because I have a 32-bit CPU. I saw I post from 2010 similar to this, but that post is nearly 5 years old and I have to do VPN magic, which I am not going to do.
So, how can I do this?

you can't with kodi alone. Upnp does not work outside of your LAN. You could take a look at Mediabrowser, which seems to be working well with kodi as client.

Do you know of any 32-bit OS that will just stream my media? Solaris maybe?

What is your cpu? There aren't many 32 bit ones out there really. There is a lot of bad info about what is 64bit compatible. On linux try lscpu.

Pr.Sinister, thank you very much! Nickr, It had a old 1.6 Ghz Pentium 4, but I took a 2.4 Ghz Celeron out of an broken laptop. Yeah that desktop is pretty old, but I paid $0 for it and I might be trashing that soon as an HTPC and just use it as a media server. Also nickr, plex server is not an OS.

Yes but plex server runs on 32 bit Linux which is a 32 bit OS.
