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?

Been using Plex for 13+ years, have yet to pay a dime.

Have never needed it, almost all my media is just x264 so it's working on every potato around. Not the same answer for everyone obviously, but useless for me.
