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?
It isn’t. It’s a media center originally developed for the Xbox
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
I guess it does. There probably is a plug in for kodi
Did some research, seems like Umbrella and Fen work on xbox. Seren does not work (on series X at least)
