Sage was a DVR app and live TV guide for a tuner and is ancient, hardly a competitor to plex. Xbmc and Kodi - while great - are not at all parity for Plex. Emby or Jellyfin might let me share my media with my parents in their 70s but Plex just works. Unless you live somewhere with highly unreliable internet there still is no parity to Plex.
haw, wrong. it was great local front end to stuff. i directly replaced it with xmbc as a drop in
you are absolutely wrong about sage. i still own and have a license.
I bought sage in 2003 to use with my hauppage TV tuner. I still have recordings made from it. But once I retired that htpc I stopped using it. Maybe they added functionality after that.
the funny thing is, i dont use DVRs ... myth tv was the last one i really had setup as dvr, and that was back in 00-04.. i realized the DVRing was a waste of time, i can just download that stuff... so i switched to SageTV because of its local file handling.
when google bought SageTV and shut that shit down i was beyond pissed.. i had custom XML all over that bitch, which is why i made sure to grab the license the developers leaked on the way the door.
Yeah when Google bought it and killed it I just forgot about it, definitely annoying...
