Yeah, I tested it now. Looks 100% different to 3 years ago. Kind of depressing that I spend two years for my library every single day and now Kodi does that in 10 minutes. However, I don't like Kodi since it is made for TV and not for PC's. I prefer a proper file browser and files that always look the same and not just with one program. And how do I close Kodi? I always have to do alt+F4 and force it to close.

ah you run on pc, i don't do that. i have a raspberry pi 3 connected to a dedicated screen seperate connected via gigabit internet to my main machine and a 3tb networked drive. it's all super easy ftp sends across the network and then it auto searches. it's simple. no messing, i just plugin and turn on and off as i need it -- i do all the file browsing via ftp.
But how do you browse your files then? What program? If you still use Kodi for that then there is no difference to where you store the files and how you receive them if you still look at them the same way.
so i have a 3tb drive with all my movies and music on, it's all organized via ftp from my desktop machine on that NAS drive --- i don't watch them on the desktop machine where i often download my content from, i just send it across to that NAS, the movies tab/tv tab scans folders on the NAS drive for updates and auto searches for the cover images so when i get to watch later on in the night it's ready to go -- did i answer ya question don't thin i did - i use yummy ftp on mac to do the uploading, organzing of the files to put them in the right auto detecting folders.
i have kodi running on the pi3 as a booting sd card but my files are on a NAS and my pi goes into a switch, the raspberry pi is on my local network so it's easy to send files across to it, i have setup folders to search on the pi across the network.
Ok, that sounds all very sophisticated. I also use a NAS drive but I just access from my PC without anything in between. I think I need a proper tutorial post to fully get your setup. :D
ok. no problem. i can do one.
get a raspberry pi 3 starter kit and i'll walk you through it. you'll love it. so easy once ya have the sd card done.
I don't have any money for that in the near future, I am afraid.
