Should I try a different media server for a richer interface
I have Serviio running nicely to my Samsung smart TV, but really I would like a better interface, where you can pull up details of the movie before choosing to play it, Netflix-style - something similar to the bundled Mediabrowser, which is really excellent. However, the Mediabrowser is (obviously) web-browser-based and unsuitable for streaming.
I looked into Kodi, which seems to have a more Netflix-style interface, but which does not do transcoding, so that's out. Nor, I understand, can Kodi's interface be bolted onto Serviio's superior transcoding and streaming services.
Is there a way of getting a Mediabrowser-style interface with straight Servio streaming to my smart TV. If not, are there any streaming projects out there which have Serviio's transcoding and metadata/subtitle capabilities, but which have Mediabrowser-style rich interfaces? It seems a shame that this is missing from the default streaming interface, when it is clear that Serviio has access to all the network information necessary to provide a better interface.
