is kodi a media player? I seem to remember putting that on my raspi.
I have been able to stream media content from my Netgear Access Point which has a built in usb port for my little NAS.
The Roku recognizes my shared NAS device.
When fully cutting the cord, I will need to be able to stream fox news, FBN and sports out to the telly in the garage where my hubs is putting in insulation and finishing it off.
Kodi is an open source home theater app that has add-ons that give you access to online content. Behind the scenes the streaming is done using bit torrent. Pretty much find anything that has ever been recorded.
