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?

My gripe with Jellyfin is that there isn't a functional app for my shitbox Toshiba Amazon TV. I'm open to alternatives but that's a must for me. Plex is also fairly user friendly which is important for sharing my library with my relatives.

Why not just attach a non shitty device over HDMI and use that?

Lots of people do that, the Nvidia shield is one I hear a lot about

A new shield is quite expensive... The Onn Google TV device from Walmart is $30 and does substantially the same things for most users. Or a Roku (whatever they call the cheap version) is pretty adequate if you're not into the Google TV/android thing.

Fair, have never looked at the price, I just have a Linux mini PC running Jellyfin lol
