Hey, guys. I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but I'm going to start here and see where it goes.I'm basically trying to come up with a strategy/solution to manage music, photos, DVR functionality, and possibly make by Blu-ray library available anywhere in the house. I've read about everything from Plex, Kodi, and MythTV to hardware solutions like the Tablo and Tivo Roamio DVRs and homebrew HTPCs. At this point I'm not heavily invested in anything. My wife and I have iPads and iPhone 5s. We have an Apple TV (gen 3 1080p). We have an iTunes Match subscription but I'm not sure it's worth renewing. I just cut our DirecTV service and we subscribe to Netflix, Hulu+, and HBO Now. I'm satisfied without our Apple stuff but would have no objections to moving on to something else.
I'm just wondering how other people manage all this media. Typically I would break this down into manageable pieces but I'm looking for something elegant and hopefully simple. I'm a 20 year IT guy and I find myself lacking the inspiration to fuss with a lot of complex hardware/software stuff after I clock out.
Thanks for reading.
