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?

Well I tried using Emby on my phone and it wanted to transcode literately everything I tried playing. The issue I had was a really weak server - and my phone plays all of the files without transcoding over SMB, never found the option to stop the transcode. But yeah, the android tv situation is really weak. Guess I'll try Emby on some temporary setup, see if this stuff is solved for me now.
