I've been a long time Kodi user (since they were XBMC) but would like to migrate to a solution where the clients are lighter weight and more of the burden put on the server.
Hence jellyfin.
The Kodi clients I currently have are more powerful than the Smart TVs themselves and I'd like to keep using them in the interim instead of native Jellyfin clients.
The metadata is sitting in the current media folders, one folder per movie title, having been scraped by Ember Media Manager. As a baby step, could I spool up a Jellyfin server, point to NAS shares as the libraries and import the current .nfo and posters and fanarts instead of having everything be rescraped?
For new media, I could have Jellyfin scrape the metadata instead of Ember.
This way I could go back and forth between the native Kodi player and the Jellyfin addon to Kodi as a precursor to native Jellfin players.
Thanks.
