More a storage than a box question, please let me know if this is better suited to a new topic.
In terms of devices I use Kodi on, I currently have a Gaming PC which houses my main install and library, with my media on a 4TB External Drive.
For upstairs I have a Fire TV I use plug and play sharing to access my library. The downside of this being that the PC has to remain on.
My new downstairs TV has Android TV, so I've installed Kodi on there from the play store. I'd like this to be the main usage point, so I'm looking at a better media and library sharing option that means my gaming PC isn't on 24/7.
I'd like something networked up I can leave on 24/7 and run (I assume this is the best way?) the MySQL library sharing so I can access it from Android TV and Fire TV. I'd also like it to be able to do torrenting.
Parity/Backup/RAID is something I'd like to have in the future, but as I'm on a tight budget currently, I likely wouldn't pick up another drive(s) to do it immediately.
In terms of existing hardware I have lying around, I have a 1st gen Celeron NUC and a Raspberry Pi around, if there's a way to use these, great. Otherwise, what's the best way to get a stable system with what I'm after?
<3 Cheers guys.
