ive been using kodi (xbmc was better moniker) since google killed sagetv. i recall attempting plex, but it seemed to lack some open/extensibility (its been awhile).

i have a side project i want to make as a modular plugin generating a cable layout with original air orders and networks/channels… kodi seems most optimal, but ill admit its been a long while since i looked at plex.

so why plex over kodi?

    Kodi is horrible on touch devices. I also don’t want to have terabytes of files on every device I want to watch something on. Sure, there are workarounds, but I could also just use Jellyfin. Yeah I don’t use Plex, I use Jellyfin.

    But it’s really just mainly because I dislike the UX of Kodi.

      Isn’t Kodi a streaming host? Why terabytes of files?

          Don’t it work with real-debrid though? I’m considering getting back into streaming instead of downloading, and thought this might work on Xbox for that. Last time I used it was in like 2016 with exodus

              Did some research, seems like Umbrella and Fen work on xbox. Seren does not work (on series X at least)
