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’ve been using Kodi (LibreELEC) on an RPi as a media center for the tv. It is extensible with IPTV etc which makes it great as a standalone device.
For myself I’m using Jellyfin on multiple devices without having to manage metadata and configuration seperately. It’s all on my homeserver.
tl;dr
Different use cases.
