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?

The real question is why people pay for Plex when Jellyfin is free and open source

Been using Plex for 13+ years, have yet to pay a dime.

Have never needed it, almost all my media is just x264 so it's working on every potato around. Not the same answer for everyone obviously, but useless for me.

h264 and H265 (not 10bit) is so well supported that it is hardly an issue.
