Avoid Samsung, it has Cinavia on USB/DLNA. And like all Samsung devices, planned obsolescence at it's best/worst.
How annoying is when we to watch a movie after dinner, and the dam thing is rebooting or having a major update... HTPC is not my cup of Tea....and im not english
About HTPC: on all my computers after installing Windows first option is to disable autoupdate (recomended even on legal instalations). I can update myself when I want/need, not when Microsoft want.
Never had any of your issues. Agree that HTPC isn't wife friendly...
Quote:Some of Kodi developers are really dedicated to this project, and that makes it a better product than the competition.
Kodi is also very popular because its free, good playing engine and have a fancy jukebox that works 99,9% scanning libraries.
VLC is also popular and its also free but misses the Jukebox...How popular VLC would be with some similar Kodi Jukebox ?
Some people are willing to give up some PQ and struggle for capable player just for the jukebox convenience and easy to use...and HTPCs dont really fit in easy-to-use concept IMHO...
Agree about Kodi developers and I add this community has many dedicated users, with good knowledge and common-sense.
But you can also have Kodi on HTPC... you don't need VLC.
