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.

I can only suggest jellyfin. It is lightweight and can do in-house and outside streaming as well.
Thanks for this - have had a look at the link and it seems just right! Very grateful.
You are welcome mate! Have fun!
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.
This sounds good to me. Will be able to read around it his evening.
