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?
It isn’t. It’s a media center originally developed for the Xbox
No it’s just a streaming host. Even as xbmc you could mount a network share library, you didn’t need it all stored on-device.
By default it isn’t
What do you mean? You can connect it to network shares “by default”.
Don’t it work with real-debrid though? I’m considering getting back into streaming instead of downloading, and thought this might work on Xbox for that. Last time I used it was in like 2016 with exodus
I guess it does. There probably is a plug in for kodi
Did some research, seems like Umbrella and Fen work on xbox. Seren does not work (on series X at least)
I believe that Kodi, Emby, and Plex are all forks of XBMC… Not sure about Jellyfin but it wouldn’t surprise me to find that it also was.
