You can easily integrate the jellyfin to kodi, and have both - consistent library across multiple devices AND beautiful UI.
There are 2 addons for it.
One will allow you to browse your jellyfin media using the api, and to reencode on the fly, but it's annoyingly slow to browse the library this way.
The other one will integrate your jellyfin library to local kodi database. You just need to specify the path to your samba share in the jellyfin library. It'll fetch the metadata from jellyfin, but access the media using SMB directly. It's pretty fast, since kodi doesn't have to scrape the metadata itself, and it keeps itself up to date, no need for periodic library rescans.
