I am not quite sure what you mean. All my audio and video files are on my main computer (I have about 44TB capacity, I haven't checked how much I am using). I access them via an SMB network (note that all the machines run Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04). The main reason I use kodi is that I watch cable TV on a HDHomerun Prime device and kodi has a very nice addon for program selection and recording -

B004HKIB6EAs much live TV as I am currently watching (about the only thing I watch live these days is PBS) I am thinking about doing away with live TV altogether. One other aspect of Kodi (undocumented and only works in linux) is that if I have makemkv installed I can play commercial blu ray disks from Kodi. I can also play CD's directly on Kodi.
I am using Ruby Rip to rip my CD's. I don't download media info for Kodi I only look directly at the file folders with Kodi to select what I want to watch or listen to (If you let it Kodi will download media meta-data).
The audio from Kodi sounds fine to me but I have never claimed to have golden ears.
Also since I posted the picture I am using an Emotiva BasX PT1 preamp. It is all analog except for the DAC on the digital inputs (Spdif, TOSlink, WiFi). For my compute audio I use the optical (TOSlink) input. For my turntable it has a phono (MM/MC) input.
