I am looking to put together an HTPC build with a user friendly front end.
The PC should run Plex for video.
I would like to run a game emulator and maybe even an eBook reader if possible.
I want to be able to quit the emulator directly back to the front end to load up Plex with no obvious issues.
I have tried kodi but I have had problems returning back to it from dolphin emulator.
The problem with the Plex app for Jodi is that it also doesn’t let you stream media.
I have also tries using caster to launch programmes from inside Plex but I can’t get it to work.
I want to plug this into the TV without feeling like you are using a desktop PC but a media center.
Any suggestions? I have been stuck on this for a while.
