Sure, but the basic mechanics don't change much and I don't want to take time with it. I want something that just works the way I like.
Kodi is way more customizable than Plex, Jellyfin or Emby. You can't really change much other than the categories you want it to show and the order their in. They're all dead simple interfaces meant for anyone from a 7 year old to a 70 year old.
If you take a few minutes and dive into the setting of a Kodi theme you can literally make it do whatever you want. It was originally written as a dashboard for the original Xbox, so customization and usability was at the front and center.
It's like comparing a semi truck and a hatchback sedan, they're both vehicles but they server different purposes.
Sure, but the thing is Jellyfin and Plex both work pretty close to what I want without having to customize anything. I'm happy for everyone that likes Kodi, it's just not for me. I've used Kodi on and off from back when it only ran on the Xbox as XBMC. I know what it's capable of. I just don't want to put that effort into it.
