   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.

   Top Negative Comment by Guest · Aug 25, 2017

   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.

   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

   MediaPortal vs Kodi Comments

   Positive comment by rsbrux · Mar 9, 2021

   MediaPortal is a fully featured system which can install everything you need in one pass. Despite the URL "kodi.tv", Kodi does not include a TV backend and depends on the installation of a TV service like DVBviewer or MediaPortal to provide TV features, like watching or recording TV.
