Nothing unusual, really. I typically put on classical music, but oft times am in a hurry and Kodi will sit and churn on a genre, so the quick pick is everything including podcasts. If a podcast is going upon our return, I ask them what they’ve learned.

I’m using Kodi to put on endless playlists. Mostly for our pets when we’re away. It’s nothing fancy, but works fine. “Party Mode” is their on the fly playlist. Once in a genre/artist, you tap left and a small menu shows it. Two clicks and it plays an endless medley of tunes.

I would choose the rsync–>backup /home to external disk then install Cachy fresh, then copy /home back.

It’s a known, clean and simple process. Why complicate things further?
