You're probably better off speaking to the Kodi people directly. https://kodi.wiki/view/Main_Page https://forum.kodi.tv/ I haven't explored Kodi enough to give you the answers you need with additional hardware in a network, but somebody there will know about it. Good luck with it, and let us know how you go. Cheers! Harry -- "'Crazy' is a term of art; 'Insane' is a term of law. Remember that, and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble." --Hunter S. Thompson
