I am wanting to get a 4k player, but I am not really familiar enough with this type of equipment to know which ones are the best. I am looking for something pretty simple, just 4k disc playback, high res audio, and can play files from USB. I don't really need wifi or streaming. A dedicated audio out would be nice as well, which would be simpler for my setup.
I was considering thks one from LG https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-ubk80-4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray-player-black/6215306.p?skuId=6215306
Is this a good pick, or should I get a different one?
That's pretty slick. Is it something you did up yourself or is there a program that handles syncing like that?
Kodi uses a SQL database to store pretty much all system state. By default it uses a local sqlite database, but it also includes support for using a remote mysql server; and in that configuration supports multiple Kodi instances sharing a single database. So I just threw a mysql instance up on my network and point everything to that.
And since all the movies are on a file share also accessible to all those Kodi instances on my LAN, everything "just works".
Just have to make sure everything's running the same Kodi release.
