Out of interest, why do you use Kodi as a frontend rather than a native Jellyfin client?

Kodi is a native Jellyfin client, isn’t it?

Being able to play media from Jellyfin and other locations like YouTube, samba shares, etc is why I tend to use Kodi. I’m not stuck with one server/service.

No more transcoding and/or demuxing subtitles on the server

Also the more mature/retro UI, although you can skin it like Jellyfin’s web UI or like yet another streaming service if you prefer
