   Plex vs Kodi Comments

   Top Positive Comment by Guest · Dec 18, 2017

   I have been using plex for over a year now. It's over all the best media server/client available on the market. I have no doubt. I will be using plex the next coming years.

   As already mentioned, a streaming platform isn't an alternative to a media player.

   Positive comment by Guest · Feb 26, 2021

   Even though Plex is a media server, it can still be used for the same things but not all things Kodi can do are on Plex.

   Emby vs Kodi Comments

   Positive comment by Guest · Aug 17, 2015

   Like Plex, Emby is a server/player hybrid. Allowing you to manage users with unique watch histories and transcoding for any device. The player is robust, covering Windows, iOS, Android, Windows Phone amongst others, along with the most robust web player on the market.

   Positive comment by David Saylor · May 4, 2022

   Emby has a way nicer UI than KODI and it's way easier to setup (atleast on Linux Ubuntu 20 anyway. You can browse through your media by alphabet (the one feature that KODI and Netflix both lack).

   Negative comment by Guest · Nov 3, 2016

   Kodi has addons and many extra features

   It’s not as customisable, so there’s no way to give it your own twist.

   OSMC vs Kodi Comments

   Negative comment by Lura · Nov 23, 2017

   OSMC is an operating system using KODI, it's not an alternative.

   Negative comment by Jim Miles · Oct 15, 2021

   Only works on a streaming device like Raspberry Pi or Apple TV. Won't run on Win 10.

   Negative comment by Guest · Sep 9, 2020

   It is an OS, not an Apple TV app
