Hi there

I am tying with the idea of using a Rasberry Pie as Kodi Media Player for Local stored and legal files.

This is what I want to do.

1 Use Rasberry Pi 3 + or 4
2. Use OSMC or Latest Kodi Version
3 Connect HDD or SDD up to the Kodi Box
4. I will load the HDD up with relevant movies
5. locate this kodi player at another location away from my home.
6. Update the kodi build and transfer new movies to the Hardrvie ota as long as there is internet.

Is this possible and how would it be done are they any videos guides.

The basic default install handles 1-5 First time user (wiki)
6. might be a bit more involved transferring files over the internet Syncing and sharing (wiki)

Please peruse the wiki's and make yourself familiar with the functioning of the program, prior to setting up networking.

Don't forget about the VPN policy (wiki) on this forum.

Kodi doesn't need or require a VPN Official:VPN policy (wiki)

Yes -- but a portforward with security would be a better option. A VPN will only slow you down unless you use a Site-to-Site VPN and set it up yourself.
A VPN provider isn't what you'd want here.

That is beyond the scope of Kodi.
