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?

I’ll cast my vote: Kodi is far superior to Plex. People are just too lazy to learn something. I have a library larger than Netflix and Kodi makes browsing it very simple.

For multi device jellyfin or Plex(which is terrible now compared to before) is way better, sure you can make Kodi do it but it's never been good at that

I have a multimedia server with jellyfin and even the dumbest clients can play off it some way.

To each their own. I run a NAS as the main source of data in my network and the files are encoded as h.265 2160p 10bit. I don’t need another transcode step because my systems are all capable of decoding h.265 10bit in real time. To force my NAS to do another transcode would be stupid, IMO.

yeah, i dont understand the attempt to get the nas to do more than being a nas. its busy bein nas.

I agree. I disable transcoding and use direct play. Jellyfin is a multi device library for the files on my nas.
