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 start up the plex server service on my win10 main machine to stream videos inhouse to my xbox plex app manually on demand. I kill the service whenever it is not needed. I provide video files manually without any automation and torrenting. I actually don't know if this simple use case can be solved as easy as plex with kodi.

I just use plain ftp server, streaming clients always give me problems, today work tomorrow not
