Hello
(first, sorry for my bad english...)
I will install rpi 3 on familly. TV is not on network (=> no dlna...) and i will plug rpi on tv only by hdmi.
It's possible to use serviio and watch movie on mode "plex/kodi" ?
I will use only BT remote control for play/next movie. (with mediabrowser, i need use keyboard)
It's possible with feature on serviio? plugin?
thank a lot,
Eric.

The only user player that Serviio provides is MediaBrowser. Since you plan to connect the Raspberry directly to the TV via HDMI, you need something with a user interface designed for use at the TV screen level. Kodi is certainly one such option, as is Plex (although I'm unsure if Plex can be installed on a Raspberry).
As you noted, MediaBrowser pretty much needs a keyboard/mouse to be able to select what you want to view. From my limited experience with Kodi, I believe that might be your best bet. I did just look at the Plex web site, and they do have a Plex Media Player that works on a Pi2, so it should work on the 3 as well. Of course, I don't know exactly what OS you will be running, so I'm just making some educated guesses.

Hum yes, kodi...
I will test this media player... i found osmc...
I like Serviio and use since april 2013 on pro (little free)
Easy to deploy, no need install and light... thank you for answer, and I will go test kodi or check serviio with mediabrowser on TV with pointer...
