Is there a way to install OMV and Kodi on one system, so that I can use my livingroom system as a NAS and a audio/videoviewer?
OMV and KODI in one possible?

- OMV 2.x

Don't know about kodi, but I use plex on one of mine.
-
Possible? Yes
Recommended? No -
-
SO and this Plex would make it possible that OMV boots to a player instead external and has the NAS capabilities internally?
-
Something like that. There is a plugin that allows you to add plex to your OMV server.
-
Try Emby.

Problem from Emby and Plex is that it is not free and the options given are too much for just watching on one TV screen. I do not need Tabletplayback and such things.

Plex is free. They do have a paid option, but I use the basic. Works just fine.
-
-
Problem is that everything is serverbased and I just need clientbased software. I just have the files on the OMV without any mediaserver stuff and connect via smb to the files.

An RPi3 with OpenELEC really makes all of this conversation go away.

That's great if you live in Europe. Or are you referring to the software side? Does the software side install on OMV?

Who are you asking that question at?

I want to try out Kodi, but the installation is too complicated.

You. You posted about OpenELEC. I see now after some reading that OpenELEC is software. The way the page is laid out it looks like OpenELEC is the actual hardware.

OpenELEC is a Linux distro that basically just runs Kodi. It runs on many platforms including the Raspberry Pi. The RPi3 is fast enough to decode most video (1080p webm is the only thing I have found that stutters) and uses substantially less power than an x86/i386/amd64 box that most people have running OMV. OpenELEC does sell hardware with the distro pre-installed.
I assume most people want to use one box for both because of energy use. I would say in about 99.9% of situations, an RPi running OpenELEC watching a video + OMV on separate NASbox streaming a video uses less energy than one box doing both. Hell, you could two RPi3 and have OpenELEC on one and OMV on the other.

I'm running 2x RPi3 with Openelec with NFS towards OMV and an MySQL database what indexed all data for Kodi from the NAS
-
If I use a Raspi I need an external SOundcard with 5.1 Analog connection. I do not have a Receiver with HDMI.
-
-
I recommend Plex on OMV and Rasplex on an RPI3. It all works flawlessly, including DTS, 5.1 passing through the HDMI and using the TV remote to browse through Plex if your TV supports HDMI-CEC, and no need for transcoding.

I use Kodi with OMV on my own NAS System with a i3 and 8GB RAM without Problems.
