I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

Just curious, why do you prefer Kodi over Plex?

[-] jagoan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have a dated opinion, it's probably still true, but compute power is much cheaper now.

If your player doesn't support the format, Plex will transcode it on the server -- which is extremely slow if all you have is just a junk pc as server, while on Kodi (or what I personally use, Infuse), you can use any file server, like smb, and they'll just play. No fuss, any lags will definitely be a network issue.

I only watch on one device (Nvidia Shield Pro) directly and do not need streaming over the net. Because of this I have also not looked into Jellyfin much either.

Overall I got to know Kodi first and like the customization and add-ons etc. I have my library/metadata set up that way and am too lazy to check the others out and maybe switch (don't fix a running system, right? xD)

Awesome true! I haven't used Kodi since it switched from XBMC on a modded OG xbox. I love everything plex has to offer but in the same mindset, i haven't looked much beyond plex because it works for my needs. Thanks for the input.
