Last time I checked Kodi doesn't really work as a server because it requires a GUI to fully function. I know that it can serve content across the network (via DLNA AFAIK) but Windows Media Player does that too and you'd hardly call that a media server! :) Please correct me though if I've got something wrong...

The other really cool thing about Emby (as included in our mediaserver appliance) is that it can provide the database backend for Kodi so you can have multiple instances of Kodi on your network which all share the same library of media.

Also I don't think that Kodi provides a streaming media player that any web browser on the network can access...

Regardless, thanks for your input and I hope I don't sound like too much of a smartie pants.
