👊🏼 😗 🧚🏿 KODI: assembling a convenient and functional media center for your home. Part 2 👨‍💼 ✋🏾 🧑🏿‍🤝‍🧑🏻

We continue to talk about how, with a small amount of time and skills, to build a multimedia combine with the additional capabilities of a home server based on Kubuntu 20.04 and KODI, capable of working 24/7/365.

The first part of the post is here:

1. Watching YouTube

It would be strange to have a modern media center without the ability to watch videos on the most popular video hosting site - YouTube. For this, there is an add-on of the same name from the official repository. The add-on interacts well and syncs history, channels, subscriptions, and more. Everything is like everyone else. I don't see any point in describing and reviewing anything in particular.

Thus, with a small amount of time and skills, we get a multimedia combine with additional features of a home server and many comfortable control methods that can work 24/7/365, an analogue of which I have not yet found, perhaps only by what I was not looking for - he completely and completely suits me and my household.

PS There are plans to also raise KODI on the second TV (probably on Raspberry Pi 3/4) and synchronize both devices using MySQL. There will be a publication on the work done in this direction.
