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?
Because my current TV is a Samsung so runs Tizen OS and thus doesn't have an official Jellyfin app.
(I bought it before I ever got into NAS stuff and it still works fine so I'll be damned if I buy another TV before this one stops working.)
Edit: A word.
