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?

Because Kodi is just confusing. When I got my first Android TV, I was reading about Plex and Kodi everywhere. So I tried both. I never even figured out how to make Kodi do a similar thing to what I had with Plex.

Granted, Plex sucks nowadays and I'll be migrating somwhere else, but it definitely isn't going to be Kodi - it was confusing and ugly.

If you’re looking for what to migrate to. highly recommend Jellyfin

In what way(s)?

You need an online connection for your local media to work. Currently my Internet connection is kinda fucked up and I haven't had time to fix it, long story short, the device where Plex server runs doesn't have access to the internet. And I can't manage my local media because of that. I can play them using local accounts, but I cannot do anything using the main account.

ouch, that might be the hard stop that prevented me from using it.

i dont like remote streaming at all. i dont want to rely on other people or hardware

I just use nova on my tv, it works better than kodi. And it actually works
