To add to everyone else, I moved from Kodi to Jellyfin and it was a game changer for my home server solution. (I run the server off of my gaming PC)

The fact that my video collection will mostly not play in browser just breaks the entire navigation environment of Jellyfin.
I'm not sure which client device you're using, but on desktop there is the desktop player as well as jellyfin-mpv-shim which don't rely on the browser for playback, but do use it for management, show selection etc
My go to is Roku.
Cheap, always works, compatible with everything
I would recommend trying different skins for Kodi, was a game changer for me.
