I use both. Plex is better for the less technical members of my family. I burned all my wife’s Workout DVDs and she uses it with ease. For HDR movies I prefer Kodi. My understanding is that plex transcodes from the originating machine where as Kodi will transcode on the machine that receives it - so the HDR films get transcoded on a machine with a graphics card.
For some systems they come as simple apps you can just fire up, or you can have the separate apps load up. Not hard to switch between them.
- oefrha 6y agoTranscoding on the receiving end doesn’t make sense to me. If you’re trying to save bandwidth, transcoding on the receiving end is obviously pointless. If you’re transcoding just to play an unplayable codec, well, why not just get a better player that supports the codec? What am I missing?
