I've found Kodi still occasionally useful as yet-another-media-box attached to the TV. Kodi stands out by having a consumer-friendly software package - capable of supporting older video game emulation and having the most jitter-tolerant IPTV streaming client. I still switch over to Kodi-running-on-a-Raspberry-Pi-3 when a guest comes over and starts reminiscing about video games from their childhood or just wants to kill some time, or when the family wants to watch sports on TV -- we've watched the Olympics, the Super Bowl, and Thanksgiving-day games, year after year, on this little Raspberry Pi. Roku's app will just give up when the HDHomerun IPTV signal hiccups, but Kodi will keep going and give you the classic screen-tear / dropped i-frame mess for a sec and then catch back up. Admittedly, the video / audio will get out of sync after an hour or two, sometimes requiring us to drop and re-open the stream. But for me, Kodi is Ol' Reliable, as opposed to whatever the Roku decided to do this year.
