I'm running it on a Linux laptop, so I don't see any reason why I couldn't have both. I'll check it out.
I have Kodi connected to broadcast TV streams and Disney+, can I do this with Jellyfin?
You could have both, I just found Kodi to be a pain to use and set up. But one advantage of Kodi is that I believe it already supports streams like that. With Jellyfin you might have to do some magic. Kodi is more feature rich than jellyfin in general so if you can get it to work well, you could just have Kodi instead of both.
But I'm not sure on this topic. It's probably best to consult the docs for both.
I have Kodi set up, and it seems to work well. There are different ways to do it, I did the database merge option which prevents you having non-jellyfin files in your library but it works nicely.
I also have broadcast TV streams and Disney+ through there too, which gives it a smart-TV feeling which is nice for others using it.
No, the jellyfin app is mainly for using a jellyfin server. And for that purpose, it's really good I think. It's not like an all purpose media player with tons of add-ons and highly customizable like Kodi is.
