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?
In the case we are talking about different self hosting things
I used to have Plex with a domain
It's not a problem for me to connect domains, dns, reverse proxies, etc. Because i'm already hosting like everything, email, my own dns server, websites, nextcloud, basically everything
