how are you supposed to run this on a server? I don't want

>>59772467
You're not supposed to. You just install the client in your computer and then connect via ftp or another protocol to the server.

how the fuck does that work if I want to run it on my phone or stream it to a chromecast?

>>59772585
Install it on your fucking phone and point it at where your media is.

It's for local use, so obviously you'd need x. Emby might be more what you're looking for.

Are you retarded OP?

>>59773472
actually yes I am

Kodi consumes files wherever you put them. You can point it at files on the same system or over the network via nfs, smb, cifs, etc.

kodi is a client. it supports webdav shares. you can make a webdav share over ssl using apache2 + mod_dav + mod_davfs + mod_ssl
sign a cert, and set up basic auth. unfortunately kodi won't complain about certificate errors so chinks and jeets can steal your shit if you're on a sketchy network. has anybody found out how to force certificate checking on kodi?
