I torrent to my laptop to watch films and shows (VPN with a killswitch). Want a dedicated setup so bought a Raspberry Pi 4b thinking of KODI setup. Is KODI the way to go, or is there a better way to stream or download movies via the Raspbery Pi4? What can you suggest for my home-made box to replace Disney, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.? Looking for safe pointers and hopefully can search for the "how to" parts if needed.

My setup here: a headless RPI4, running :

RPI OS lite;
a transmission server so I can add torrents from my computer, or phone using a browser;
a VPN running all the time;
a Jellyfin server.

On my TV and other devices, I’m running a Jellyfin client. My experience with Plex is not as good as with Jellyfin, as Plex struggles to play some MKV files.
