OSMC mentions (20)

• Is there something like "network attached monitor"

  The devices had a small daemon that would periodically send HTTP requests to the central web service and check if it needed to update the content it was displaying and would update content accordingly. The content was displayed through OSMC. Source: about 1 year ago

• Pay me the buying power to afford the things you got at my age, and maybe then I'll buy these things...

  Downstairs is a Raspberry PI hooked to large hard drive (8TB). That runs OSMC and provides network access for all computers/phones in the house while being hooked up to the living room TV. The IPTV can run through it but I just watch that on my computer. Source: over 1 year ago

• one day my friend

  Just put osmc on it and use it as media center. Depending on your hardware it can be pretty solid. And there is a lot you can configure. it's basically an os which boots direcly to kodi. Also it supports hdmi-cec so you can use your normal tv remote, it's awesome. Source: over 1 year ago

• Plexamp v4.2.2 Released

  I have heard good stuff about https://osmc.tv/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can someone suggest a Smart TV like distro?

  From what I know there aren't many options for this use case, and those that I know of (like OSMC or Plasma Bigscreen) all run on ARM devices like Raspberry Pi, but not x86/64. I would recommend the same as other commenters: to just use a normal distribution and put something like Kodi on it. You could probably configure the system to automatically start up whatever UI you prefer to make it more seamless. Source: about 2 years ago

• Music Media Manager for linux server (with web frontend?)

  Https://airsonic.github.io/ seems like it might be what you're looking for? Not sure about duplicates, but it can deal with tags and artwork. Source: 12 months ago

• self-hosted alternative to spotify?

  Airsonic is another choice that I've heard good things about. Installation video via docker here. I believe DSub will work with Airsonic too. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for advice on streaming MPD database over local network to multiple clients

  On the other hand, if you want a single Spotify-esque service from which multiple clients can stream the audio without managing their own databases, there are Subsonic and derivatives which also offer transcoding options. I use Airsonic for this purpose and use it to stream my music collection from my phone via Ultrasonic (available from F-Droid if you use Android). Source: over 1 year ago

• Is Kodi or any addon able to stream or download media from cloud storage services?

  You should look into one of the subsonic forks. Airsonic https://airsonic.github.io/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Most private music streaming available?

  What they're talking about is starting up a server so you can stream your own music files. This would involve setting up a server (either renting a hosted server or setting up your own machine) starting up an application like Airsonic (one of many Subsonic compliant applications), finding a good client to use like Ultrasonic (one of many Subsonic compliant clients), setting up domain names and DNS to point to that...
