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?

Much easier to set up and share with others. Kodi takes a lot of back end work to make it usable and I'm having a hell of a time getting consistent results to different devices from my NAS.

Plex took far less effort to do the same results but their paywall certainly justifies their ease of use

Strange. Kodi for me was a breeze to set up. Set up a file source, set the client to update library on start up, tweak your thumbnails and skin preferences, done.

My difficulty lies in consistency across multiple devices, it's a process that i haven't been able to overcome easily and though i learned SQL my NAS is a bit closed though so I may upgrade that soon
