- dogma1138 9y agoI use Plex and I don’t use it on the Xbox for the same reason; I don’t have any control over the data collection from it and technically it’s a violation of the EULA which can be used to have my XBLA account suspended, while this is a small risk it’s still not worth it considering the number of affordable NAS appliances that come with HDMI, support Plex and 4K playback as well a plethora of other affordable platforms ranging from SBCs to NUCs and streamers. And lastly while Plex did implement channels Kodi is effectively used as an interface for PopcornTime like services where you can directly stream from Torrents and other sources.
- prepend 9y agoPlex is nice, but it requires a server with content. In addition to the tons more plugins for Kodi, it can play media directly from a network share without any media server running. This is a big benefit for client only networks.
- weberc2 9y agoI prefer the server/client model Plex provides, but for me Plex has been much more buggy than Kodi.
- Viper007Bond 9y agoWhat kinds of bugs? It's been pretty bulletproof for me, including playing 4K content. I love that my 4K TV has the Plex app built into it from the factory.
