![]() And even if it was, I still prefer my beautiful and fully custom KODI UI. They both serve their purposes, but for 4K content, Plex is just not there with HDR > SDR tone mapping yet. Obviously the workflow here has a specific order (don't update PLEX until your KODI NFO is out there), but once you learn it, you can't beat it. I also LOVE KODI's custom skins/UI, so I use that with custom player (MPC-BE with MADVR) and it is GLORIOUS in 4K HDR on my OLED. No more needing to keep 2 sources in sync with Metadata. Since the metadata is stored locally with the media itself, it is the end all be all in my opinion. I could care less if the Plex database gets corrupted or I need to reinstall the whole thing (I don't even back it up). Now I just point Plex to my media folders and everything JUST WORKS using the custom XBMC NFO scrapers. NFO files and then I use the Plex Web Tools plugin with the XBMCNFOMovie/TV apps that allow you to ingest Kodi NFO files into Plex (Plex still refuses to use native. ![]() I use both Kodi (Main Home Theater Screen) and Plex (In Home/Remote Steaming). Plex, GPU transcoding using Ram, SSD for metadata and Unraid as the host OS?Ĭouldn’t be a better combination in my opinion. ![]() Moved house again and now use AppleTV boxes for clients. Got gigabit internet (2014) and 20-30 users on NowTV boxes streaming.īought a PlexPass when they were half what they are now. So I bought and i3 CPU of eBay and suddenly, everything played perfect and “transcoding” was possible. Maybe XBMC was meant to be?ĬPU usage on “server” was 100%. I played films on it and it buffered constantly. Software that could manage my media and mean XBMC on each device didn’t have to scan/scrape all my media? (A Roku box with remote) you could side load something called Plex on it to stream with it. Then Sky UK released NowTV boxes for £10 a piece. It's the great Windows vs Mac vs Linux debate, but for media streaming. Between Kodi and Plex all your bases should be covered. Never really used Emby to any degree, so can't comment on that. I only used it to stream my local media, and in that sense Plex is perfectly fine. It should be noted that I never used Kodi for any streaming plugins, so that could be a huge factor in someone's opinion also. That was _my_ primary factor in my own Kodi vs Plex debate.Īt this point, I don't really miss Kodi. And in some sense I still prefer the UI of Kodi compared to Plex, especially when it comes to figuring out watched vs unwatched content, the Kodi UI is just simpler.īut I've evolved. Sideloaded it on my FireTV sticks and used it from my PC media before ever having even used Unraid (which then turned into using LibreElec VM). So I'm actually having the opposite opinion to that. If you're only doing local streaming use Kodi
