UPDATED - DYI Complete Media & Gaming Center - All-in-One Entertainment Setup
Links Below: An All-in one Complete Entertainment Solution for PC. PSMC is the media center & PSGC the gaming center. This is how you can watch/stream just about everything as well as play 1000's of video games. In this video, I first start PSMC (my fork of Kodi). PSMC is the Media Center portion. At about 30 seconds in the video, I will transition into the gaming frontend via an addon used in PSMC . The looks of both are designed to go with each other.
Just after 14 minutes, I exit the gaming center and it returns to PSMC (the media center) to show more of the streaming side of things. If your watching on youtube, you will need to visit the Rumble link to see the entire video: https://rumble.com/v2untei-complete-media-center-and-gaming-center-psmc-meets-psgc.html?mref=1q8jhs&mc=e51uy
PSMC does all the media center stuff. It plays videos, photos, music, Live TV, streaming radio, etc. It can be connected to a NAS, external hard drives or you can stream almost everything from the internet in up to 4K resolution, depending on your internet connection speed.
No need for any monthly subscriptions like Prime (firestick), Roku (roku device or tv), Youtube, Disney+, etc.. All that is needed is a PC or Android device. You can even use most IPTV services if you have one, but not needed in my case as I already have a few 1000 decent channels (but if you already use one of the mentioned devices, that's okay too, you can probably install PSMC on them. (I have PSMC installed in my Hisense TV that is running google/android TV as well as my Nvidea Shields, PC's and other android TV boxes). You can even install it on android phones.
PSGC is using a gaming frontend (LaunchBox/BigBox) that connects all your game roms with the appropriate artwork, videos and emulators as well as games installed on your PC, even installed via Steam, Epic, etc., It downloads most of the artwork and video snaps. Again, you can use a NAS, external hard drives or even a thumb drive (I wouldn't recommend a thumb drive). I personally use a DIY built NAS (an old PC running OMV).
This particular rig has 22,000+ games covering over 40 different platforms such as Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, etc., Nintendo GameBoy's, GameCube, Switch, etc., Sega Genesis, Dreamcast, Saturn, etc., Sony PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, etc. Windows and more. This setup also has almost 2000 fruit machines as well as a few 1000' karaoke songs ready to go.

Is everything free? Almost but No.
The gaming side will run you between $30-75 for the frontend license, depending on the license you pick. 3rd party. However, the theme is free.
The media side is free (PSMC), but will work best if you use something like RealDebrid (http://real-debrid.com/?id=1020798) which is like $35 a YEAR, which can also be used for torrent transfers without the need of a VPN as it does everything online and then you can simply download/stream the results. RealDebrid is not required but highly recommended.

Game On (Redux) Gaming Frontend Theme | Moving Players Background
Download links below:
This is a Redux of a theme I did back in 02-2022. Features a background with 2 animated gamers. Details, such as a real-time VCR blinking lcd clock, ambient lighting effects to make they TV look more like it's throwing light on the rest of the background.
Designed especially for using on Large 4K Screens and TVs using the BigBox gaming frontend.
If you like to grab a controller or two, hit the couch and jump in front of a Big Screen TV, this may be the theme for you!
Information rich using very visible color graphic image icons for genres, play modes, max players, etc..
It can also show if the game can be played in Virtual Reality, Online, PvP, Co-Op and more with a few tweaks in your Launchbox settings.
Also announces the Platform's name using male audio files (updated) as you scroll through them. Over 250 Genre Icons (plus a simple Photoshop template to make more if you need them)

PSGC Colors - Gaming Frontend Theme. Matches the PSMC Skin "Smoke" (PSMC is a Kodi Fork)
I designed the PSGC theme to match one of the skins (themes) I did for my Kodi fork called PSMC. I had done an Netflix type looking skin for it called Smoke and this matches it pretty well. This version adds more color than the original.
With this update I added a Full Cover view and some badges. I've also added a Karaoke platform to my rigs that is working well. Also done some other cosmetic changes.
Currently there are only a couple views. But it was to made more to make my gaming rigs match my android streaming devices. Designed more for large screens and 4K, but may work on others.

PSMC's (Aeon-Non Sylvo) Skin for PSMC / Kodi
(Skip the first minute to pass the skin animations which can be turned off) This video shows PSMC's Aeon-Non Sylvo Skin made for PSMC (or Kodi). It has been updated to now work with v19 and v20. This was the one that started with PSMC the app. It shows just some of what this skin can do after you install it and set it up to your liking. Configurations are endless! -- Install instructions are on GitHub, link below --
THIS IS NOT A BUILD, it only a skin (theme).
Originally designed for PSMC v18 from the Aeon-Non Sylvo skin, with quite a few modifications. I've updated it to work with newer versions of PSMC and Kodi.
PSMC skins are some of the few that have ANIMATIONS on the main screen (that can be toggled on & off of course).
I originally designed theses for kids (my grandson), but they are awesome for kids, both young and old (please ask permission if you wish to use one of my skins in a build).
Just install the PSMC repo to get this or any of the other PSMC skins and addons.
Information to install the PSMC Repository can be found on the GitHub: https://bit.ly/3ST11d9
