    Jellyfin is a (great) server but it does not seem to have a player that you can control with a remote. Kodi is a (good) player but the server is not good (CPU usage, etc). Kodicon plugin allows using both.

    Jellyfin transcodes video to offer it to a webbrowser interface. Kodi allows you to play videos natively.
