Some jerk company (like Google) cannot suddenly discontinue my entire reader with all my feeds, because its mine, on my server. But because it’s a web app, I can use it from any device, unlike a local app. After Google killed reader, That was just too annoying. Self hosted since.

Freshrss is pretty great.

Thank you for sharing the information!

What model did you buy? It is rare to see one these days that doesn’t have all this nonsense.

I run BicBucStrim on my NAS, and I access it through the web browser of any PC or tablet, my Kobo eReader, or Mobiscribe eReader. You can download a book to the device to read it, though. It basically just generates a nice web layout to access your Calibre library.

Depending what you want, you can do this very simply:. Create an SMB network share on the PC. It can be password protected or not. Doesn’t matter what OS, really (Windows, OSX, Linux). Then, on your Android phone, use an app like Solid Explorer or any other network capable file manager app that you like. Add the share to your file explorer app. After that, you can copy files just like the network share is a USB flash drive or SD card, or any other drive. It is taking advantage of stuff already built into your PC OS.

Pretty much all the big brands work with Calibre.

But with Kodi, there is zero transcoding required. I just play directly from an SMB share without the processing overhead of transcoding. So, despite Kodi’s many flaws, I’ve stuck with it.

The fact that my video collection will mostly not play in browser just breaks the entire navigation environment of Jellyfin.
